It is important that all swimmers, family, staff, volunteers and others participating in Race Pace Club- AZ activities follow Heath & Safety Protocols to protect swimmers and staff. Anyone not following these rules will be asked to leave the property and may not be allowed to return. 

CDC Current Guidelines for COVID

Please be assured that we will be following best practices required by both USA Swim and the Sedona Community Pool to ensure the continued safety of our swimmers, coaches and families. The following guidelines were developed in conjunction with the Sedona Community Pool and fellow Arizona swim clubs. We request everyone’s support and adherence to the following to ensure a positive season for all.

MASKS: Not required at this time; We will update you should masks become required by the City of Sedona or other governing body. 

Before Practice:

• Parents, please monitor your swimmers for any signs of illness. If a swimmer or family member is ill, the swimmer should remain at home until cleared by their doctor to return to the pool in order to prevent transmission of germs to coaches and teammates. (please see COVID-19 waiver). A swimmer with any symptoms of illness such as hacking cough will be sent home.

• If a swimmer is in quarantine from school or work due to a COVID exposure, the swimmer should not attend practice until the quarantine period is complete.

• Swimmers should be mindful of sanitizing/hand washing and hygienic practices to prevent the spread of pathogens. 

Health & Safety During Practice:

• Younger siblings and any children spectators must be directly supervised by an adult at all times. Young children may remain on the grass with adult supervision but may not be on the concrete pool deck during practice.

• No touching other swimmers, splashing, spitting or horseplay will be allowed. Any swimmer who fails to meet this expectation will be asked to leave. Parents of young swimmers are asked to remain close by and accessible via phone or text should a swimmer need to be picked up.

Departures:

• Younger swimmers should be accompanied by a parent or guardian when using the locker room or restroom. Our team is responsible for any messes made in the locker room. Swimmers and spectators are reminded to be sure all trash is picked up and deposited in the trash can.

• Parents & guardians are asked to be punctual for pick-ups. We cannot remain at the pool beyond the end of our scheduled practice time. 
• Swimmers should exit the locker room no longer than 10-15 minutes post practice. Please do not allow your child to “hang out and play” in the locker room as this is an insurance risk. Also, please be mindful that the team must pay for hot water through winter and do your best to help keep these costs down as much as possible. 

Equipment:

• Bring your own full (unbreakable) water bottle, cap, goggles, fins, and a towel.  All swimmers are responsible for picking up all of their equipment and taking it with them or placing items neatly in the storage shed after each practice.

Read, sign and return the COVID Waiver. 

Scan and return the COVID Waiver to [email protected] prior to your first practice. If you do not have scanning capabilities have your swimmer bring it with them during their first practice. 

ANY swimmer without a completed waiver will be unable to practice.
