[Prince George Barracuda Swim Club News] - Update from the Executive

Hi Blog PGBSC,

Here is the News information:

News Title:	Update from the Executive
News Date:	03/29/2020
Afternoon everyone, I hope everyone is healthy, safe and practicing social distancing. The following update is from the executive. 1. The board has made the decision to refund all prepaid fees from April 1 to the end of the season. This does involve a lot of work so we are asking for everyone's patience while we get this done. There is no need to contact the registrar at this time to get your refund or withdraw your children from the Club. 2. At this point, we will not be cancelling the season. Should we get the opportunity to get back to the pool, we will let everyone know and will only charge fees should your child or children wish to participate. We have heard from parents whose children would love to get back to the pool, even if for only a short period of time. Further information about fees and times will be provided if we are able to swim again this season. 3. From a National perspective, you will all be aware that Canada will not be sending an Olympic team to the Olympics. Although Trials were delayed, you should be aware that all other National meets to the end of August, 2020 have now been cancelled, including Canadian Junior and Canadian National Champs. Swim BC has not yet cancelled the season so stay tuned. Of course, safety of all is our utmost concern. Stay healthy and talk soon. Cheers, Jason

[Prince George Barracuda Swim Club News] - COVID-19 Mitigation (Q & A) from Prince George Aquatic Centre

Hi Blog PGBSC,

Here is the News information:

News Title:	COVID-19 Mitigation (Q & A) from Prince George Aquatic Centre
News Date:	03/13/2020
Afternoon everyone, The following is information from the Aquatic Centre staff regarding COVID-19 and pool operations Question: Will the pools or any programs be cancelling? Answer: Currently there is no intention to close the pools or cancel programs. That decision is fluid and can change based upon the risk level changing. The City is in regular contact with the provincial Health Authority and will advise residents should a public facility such as the pool make adjustments to operations. Question: What is the pools cleaning and disinfection practices? Answer: The pools have a robust cleaning and disinfection schedule which meets Northern Health requirements. Areas where there are high traffic touch points are disinfected multiple times throughout the day in addition to all surfaces disinfected nightly. The pool water is disinfected using a chlorination and ultraviolet light system which kills germs on contact. Question: What are the pool regulations regarding Health and Hygiene? Answer: · Patrons who have flu-like symptoms/illness, such as diarrhea, vomiting, head colds, ear or nose discharge, ear infections, have open sore or bandages, or have related symptoms should not enter the pool. Please shower before entering the pool. · Spitting/nose cleansing is not permitted anywhere in the facility. · Outside footwear is not permitted on the pool deck or shower areas. · Bathing attire is required to be clean and appropriate; for pool use only · Infants, toddlers or persons with incontinence must wear a swim diaper and/or elastic swim pants. Question: What education is occurring within the pools in the prevention of germs? Answer: Signage is posted throughout the facility and aquatic staff are educating customers on good hygiene practices such as showering before entering the pool etc.
