General information
TRAC Return to Swimming in a COVID Safe Environment
According to the scientific literature from Swimming Australia, there is no increased risk of contracting COVID-19 from swimming in chlorinated pools.
In recent weeks, there has been a gradual easing of restrictions put in place by the NSW Government in response to the state's success in managing the COVID-19 situation. As the situation evolves the sport of swimming at TRAC will slowly return to normal.
The following information has been developed to assist in the restart of swimming at TRAC and is consistent with what is happening across Australia. This information is designed to assist swimmers and parents to operate as safely as possible while entering, exiting and using the centre for swim training.
