COVID19 Risk Assessment for Holiday Cottages with Swimming Pools.

The Professional Association of Self-Caterers (PASC) has released guidelines for using and managing swimming pools. They are necessary but mercifully, brief, so we are reprinting them here below, but if you want to find out more about the PSC and what they do, here’s the link: www.pascuk.co.uk

For pools where the swim session will be pre-booked for the use of a single household or bubble holidaying together, providing they do not use any changing rooms or shared toilets (i.e., change and shower in their accommodation), then this is permittable with additional cleaning of high touchpoints such as access doors/keypads, which is identified in a COVID-19 risk assessment.

Special attention must be paid to maintaining the correct PH and Chlorine levels and keeping a record.
