Swimming Lesson FAQs
Our maintenance and cleaning team disinfects each location regularly. These places and other on-site objects include door handles, tables, floors, benches, sinks, fixtures, toilets, and diaper-changing stations. Our caretakers also clean the shower stalls and changing stations after each use. We also provide hand sanitizer for all of our students. Moreover, the chlorinated water and ultraviolet filtration system offer complete protection for our customers and employees.
Bear Paddle tests the water chemistry of pools before, during, and after every 30-minute shift. This way, we can guarantee compliance with CDC’s guidelines. In terms of disinfection, we use chlorinated water and ultraviolet light to kill 99.99% of disease-causing bacteria and viruses. Moreover, most of our pools utilize Defender Filtration systems powered with Diatomaceous Earth (DE) media.
Due to these filters, we can remove particles up to one micron. For better understanding, red blood cells are approximately 5 microns, so our disinfection systems provide a safe swimming experience for you and your family.
All students are required to bring a towel and a swimsuit. Students under the age of three are also required to wear a disposable or reusable swim diaper. While our facility is completely equipped with the necessary tools for all our swim lessons, children can choose to bring their own goggles if they want.
