Sickness Guidelines

When to stay home

The health and wellbeing of our swimmers and coaches is our top priority. If your child is exhibiting symptoms of contagious illness, they should not attend training. This includes:

• A fever within the last 24 hours.
• Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 48 hours.
• Unexplained rashes or skin conditions (especially contagious water-borne infections).
• Severe coughs or cold symptoms that impede breathing during exercise.

Returning to the pool

Swimmers should only return to the pool when they are fully recovered and have sufficient energy to endure a swim session. Please notify your squad coach if your child will be absent due to illness for an extended period.
