Covid 19 Advice from Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG)

Neptune Aquatic Solutions has had a number of questions regarding the Covid 19 outbreak. We have consulted with the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG) the governing body for swimming pool water treatment. 

We have had the following advice from them
PWTAG has consulted with Public Health England who have told us: “We have checked with our national leads who confirm that coronavirus would be inactivated at the levels of chlorine used in swimming pools.

Public Health’s opinion is that it is generally safe to go swimming at this time. Water and the chlorine within swimming pools will help to kill the virus. “ 
PWTAG statement 11/3/2020

However PWTAG are recommending all users to shower before and after they use the swimming pool/hydrotherapy pool. 

Therefore, with immediate effect all users will be asked to shower before being allowed into the pool. 

If you feel you need to self isolate you or your child, please contact Steph (through Swimphony) who will arrange for replacements sessions after the isolation period has passed.
