Swimming in the pool at the gym? Here’s how to stay safe

Swimming in the pool at the gym? Here’s how to stay safe

The COVID-19 virus does not transmit through water while swimming. But, says the World Health Organisation, “The virus spreads between people when someone has close contact with an infected person.”

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

  • Avoid crowds and maintain at least a one-metre distance from other people, even when you’re swimming or at swimming areas. 
  • Wear a mask when you’re not in the water and you can’t stay distant. 
  • Wash your hands frequently, and sanitize with a 70% alcohol sanitizing spray. 
  • Cover a cough or sneeze with a tissue or bent elbow, and stay home if you’re unwell.

OmniProtect Sanitizing Spray is an alcohol-based antiviral sanitizing spray that you can use safely on your skin, hair and surfaces, which allows for effective and even application from up to 15cm away. OmniProtect supplies bulk sanitizer and handheld room foggers in convenient aerosol canisters.
