The safety of our swimmers, parents and team members is of the utmost importance. Goldfish Swim School follows all CDC and WHO safety standards along with following any local guidelines. In addition here are some additional safety precautions and procedures we follow:

• Every shift has an on-staff cleaner to sanitize high touch areas in our lobby and pool areas.
• Our pools are disinfected with chlorine to provide the safest swimming environment The CDC states that proper operation, maintenance and disinfection of the water with chlorine should remove or inactivate the virus
• Our state-of-the-art ventilation system allows fresh air to continuously circulate into our building, further minimizing the spread of any airborne virus.

Industry experts note that indoor pools are far superior at minimizing virus transmission than most indoor spaces.
