NEW COVID-19 PROCEDURES

There are several changes for check in procedures due to the St. Louis County Health Department regulations:

• We are limiting swim lessons to the swimmer and one parent/guardian on the pool deck and in the facility.
• All patrons who enter The Lodge will have their temperature checked and will be screened by the front desk before being allowed admittance to the indoor pool. PLEASE COME READY WITH YOUR FACE COVERING ON. Face coverings are now required for all patrons, 3 and older, unless exercising, swimming or eating/drinking.
• There is no towel service for guests to use, this has been discontinued.  All participants will need to bring their own towel from home.
• Each participant and family member will need to keep their face covering on while waiting for their lesson to begin.
• Swimmers WILL NOT be wearing their mask in the water (this is not recommended by the CDC or our local health department).  Our instructors will be wearing a face covering during lessons. 
• All equipment used during the swim class will be sanitized and disinfected after each use.  Assigned equipment will stay with your swimmer for the duration of class.
• A limited number of shower stalls will be available for patron use. Disinfectant spray is available for use before/after showering. Lodge staff will clean and disinfect showers regularly.  
• Families will need to check out upon leaving the facility with the front desk.
• Social Distancing guidelines will be adhered to where possible for each level of swim class.
