Swim hats for Juniors

Every child in our swim school will be issued a swim hat that corresponds with the respective swim lesson stage they are on.

This will help our lifeguard team when supervising the pool and help us to offer a safer swimming experience for our young swimmers.

Some other benefits of wearing a swim hat include …

◊ Helps to establish good hygiene swim habits from an early age
◊ They prevent goggles from pulling on children’s hair and help with the position of the goggle straps. Many goggles now are designed to work perfectly with hats, making goggles more comfortable to wear
◊ They reduce drag in the water making you more streamline. This is why competitive swimmers wear them, but this can also help with your day-to-day swimming

On the first week of the term, your child’s swim teacher will give them their assigned colour swim hat which all children must wear for every swim lesson. This has been made a mandatory requirement to attend swim lessons and we welcome parents support in making this happen. The swim hat will be provided by the Club and every time a child moves up a stage, they will get a new swim hat with their certificate.

Pool contamination

In order to limit the number of pool closures, staff require Members’ help in reducing and eliminating this issue:

◊ All children aged under four years old must wear a swim nappy at all times
◊ Only allow your child to swim at least 90 minutes after eating
◊ If your child has had a diarrhoeal illness in the last 72 hours, please do not allow them to swim
◊ In the event of an incident please inform staff immediately as this may reduce the time of the pool being closed  

Roehampton Club reserves the right to charge £500 to cover the cost of disinfection of the pool water and disruption to Members following an incident.

Members must also complete an incident form with the Health Club Duty Manager to ensure preventative measures have been followed prior to the incident.

If these preventative measures have not been implemented a fee will be charged.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, however this is a necessary action to prevent further pool closures. Please help us to keep your pool open.
