STRATFORD - The Stratford Lions Pool opened for the summer season on Friday, July 10. To meet current government regulations to stop the transmission and spread of germs (including COVID-19), a new summer swim program is being offered.
The swim schedule includes reservable lengths, private swim AquaPods for a maximum of 5 persons within the same social bubble, water fitness classes, and limited capacity open family swims.
The health and safety of patrons and staff is of utmost importance. Those attending the facility can expect to be asked questions related to general health and well-being. Although not mandatory, wearing face coverings while indoors at the facility is highly recommended. Change rooms and single showers will be made available, but it is recommended that patrons arrive previously showered and changed for swimming. Physical distancing measures will be in place and monitored when engaging with staff and patrons not in the same personal social bubbles.
To assist staff at the front counter to deliver contactless service, many swim activities must be reserved online. Reservations are accepted up to 48 hours in advance, and 1 hour before start time. No reservations are required for family swims, and admittance is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
