Swim England issued the following advice on 13th March:
“The guidance we have received is that water and the chlorine within swimming pools will help to kill the virus. It’s important, however, to ensure that everyone visiting pools follows the latest hygiene advice to help reduce the risk of infection. … shower before and after entering the water, while spectators and volunteers should regularly wash their hands for 20 seconds using soap and water or a sanitiser gel.
Most importantly, if you feel unwell, please do not attend events or training and seek appropriate medical advice.”
