TEMPORARY POOL CLOSURE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS
EDIT: the pool is now closed, no classes tomorrow.
It’s with a heavy heart I have to inform all my pool families that I have decided to temporarily close my pool.
Over the weekend I have had at least 20 families choose not to continue with swimming for the remainder of the term due to the Coronavirus.
I was initially going to close when school finished for term 1, but after long deliberation and reflection of the week that has passed, watching my clients faces and listening to the silence in the centre, I have changed my mind for what I believe to be all the right reasons for my Centre, myself and lovely clients.
I also make this decision knowing I take care of my 80 year old frail mother. My large extended family also rely on me to be well and able. I myself have respiratory issues and would be in the high risk bracket if I caught Coronavirus.
I know many of my clients may question my decision to close. I am aware at this stage only the large swim centres have closed in Hobart. Trying to stay loyal and supportive and having the same stance as all the smaller swim schools has been conflicting but I believe I am making the right decision for my clients.
I love all my little swimmers and want to protect them and their lovely families as much as possible.
All paid unused classes will be carried forward once the centre re-opens. If you have any questions please call or msg me.
Thank you for your understanding during this tough time.
Stay safe and well.
Sincerely, Chelle
