As you know, many facilities have new regulations because of COVID-19. Our gym is no different! Some rules parents may need to be aware of are:
- Please do not enter this facility if either you have: been ill with symptoms consistent with the COVID-19 illness or suspect that you have been exposed to someone with suspected or lab-confirmed COVID-19 in the prior 14 days, OUTSIDE OF NOVA SCOTIA, OR TO AN EXPOSURE SITE WITHIN THE LAST 14 DAYS.
- Athletes are not to leave unauthorized personal equipment in the gym.
- Athletes are to have their own water bottle. They are not to share personal equipment.
- Everyone must sanitize their hands when entering the facility.
- Staff members will monitor the gymnasts inside the facility and ensure hands are regularly cleaned.
- Please remind your athlete of the importance of hand washing and not touching their face.
- Masks are required upon entry of our facility and may be removed during training. Masks left at the gym will be discarded. Children under the age of 2 and individuals with a medical condition preventing them from wearing masks are exempt.
- Washrooms are for emergencies only. Please try to refrain from using them. Gymnasts are expected to be changed into gym attire before they come to the gym and to change out of their gym attire once they leave the gym.
- There is no viewing for any of our classes. Therefore, no parents are allowed in the gym other than participants of the Parent & Tot program. Only one parent or guardian is permitted to attend with each Parent and Tot participant to ensure they follow physical distancing protocols. Parents are not required to wear a mask while in the gym as long as they are able to maintain a two (2) metre distance.
- A ten (10) minute drop off window is in place. Parents are to drop athletes off at the front door. The door will be opened 5 minutes prior to class start time and remain open 5 minutes after class starts. The entrance door will then be locked to ensure proper entry protocols and sanitizing is followed. Do not enter unless there is a supervisor to let you in. At the end of class, coaches will bring athletes out the exit door at the front of the gym where parents/guardians can pick up their child
- Waivers and declarations must be accepted online before athletes are permitted to enter our facility. All members and staff must abide by the declaration of compliance at all times.
