We have worked hard to create a responsible environment for teaching swim lessons with our employee and patron safety top of mind.  Journey 1-2 classes will be taught with a parent or guardian 14 years or older assisting the swim lesson participant in the water.

Instructors will lead lessons in the water with a face shield or from the pool deck with swim participants in pairs or small groups maintaining distancing from each other in the water.

Anyone in the swimmer’s household age 14 or older can act as a swimmer’s caregiver. It is strongly preferred for the same person to provide in-water support for all lessons of the session.

To maintain capacity limits, only one spectator is permitted per swimmer.

Each participant will have one designated space on deck for their belongings while in class.

All visitors 5 years and older entering a BPRD facility must wear a face covering. The face coverings must cover the mouth and nose and must be worn at all times in all indoor spaces, including the covered 50-meter, Olympic pool area – except when swimming.

• Face coverings are required when exercising indoors.
• If a medical condition or disability prevents a person from wearing a face covering, let our staff know to consider an accommodation.
• The Oregon Health Authority does not recommend wearing plastic face shields alone. While face shields can be very good at blocking droplets, they are not as good at stopping aerosols that can go around the shield. OHA recommends face shields only be used on a limited basis, for example when talking to someone who is deaf or hard of hearing and needs to read lips to communicate.
• Clear face shields are strongly recommended for water exercise classes.
• Please bring your own mask. A limited supply of disposable masks are available if you forget.

Face Covering Non-Compliance and Exclusions

Both your mouth and nose must be covered at all times except during swimming or water exercise (face shields are recommended during water exercise). If there is non-compliance, staff will provide a reminder, a warning and then exclusion for the day without a refund. This is for everyone’s health and safety. Thank you for wearing your face covering properly.

Please line up outside no earlier than 10 minutes prior to your class time. If you arrive earlier, please wait in your vehicle. You will be admitted into the building approximately 10 minutes before the start of your class.  The greeter will ask health screening questions.

Participants will be asked to acknowledge that no one in your household has been exposed to COVID-19 in the past 14 days. In addition, participants will be asked to acknowledge that no one in your household has recently been ill with any of the following:

Juniper has been deep cleaned and disinfected before reopening and a thorough cleaning is completed nightly. Restrooms are cleaned at least twice daily and staff are repeatedly disinfecting high touch points including between lap swim and water exercise groups. Pool chlorine levels are maintained slightly higher than normal as a precaution and chemical checks are conducted more frequently.  Juniper has automated chemical controllers and feed systems that measure and adjust chlorine and pH levels on an ongoing basis.

If you do not plan to have your child attend swim lessons, please contact us immediately to cancel as we have other families on waiting lists.  We are not able to accommodate makeup lessons.

A full credit or refund will be granted if cancelled 7 or more days prior to the first of the session. Credits only will be provided if notified 3-6 days in advance. No credit or refunds will be issued when notified less than 3 days from the start of the program.  Fees are not refunded/prorated for missed days unless due to health reasons.

At this time, the small group swim lessons offered are for from infant to adults.  Family swim lessons will return this summer.
