County Championships 2022 – important information

The objective of all these measures is to reduce transmission of all Covid variants.

This will be achieved by reducing crowding at pinch points and other effective protocols including:

  • Encouraging the wearing of face masks by everyone.
  • Asking adults to take personal responsibility for their health and the health of others around them and in their care.

These interventions are subject to change and are dependent on changing HMG / NHS & Swim England advice.

The operator of K2 has no regulations in place but is asking everyone to wear face masks while moving around the centre.
