PLEASE READ GLC Pool Hygiene – Message from GO Gateshead

We have been asked to pass on this message from Go Gateshead.

Emrys has contacted them to ask that there is an adequate supply of NEW overshoes at the pool.

Help Us To Maintain Swimming Pool Hygiene.

The Council takes it responsibility for keeping all of our swimming customers safe and well. This includes ensuring the water quality of all swimming pools is maintained to nationally recognised standards. There are a few ways that users can help us in this matter and we would like you to pass on this information.

We ask that customers adhere to the following advice.

· When entering the pool changing rooms please use the blue overshoes provided to cover outdoor shoes.
· Please ensure that you shower before and after each swim.
· Anyone who may have suffered from vomiting or diarrhoea should not return to use a Swimming Pool for 2 weeks following the last bout of vomiting and diarrhoea.

If you need to seek further guidance or advice please do not hesitate to contact any of teams at each facility who will be more than happy to help.
