Charlotte Aquatics Reopens with Robust Safety Measures
As North Carolina entered Phase 2 of reopening, on June 8, 2020, Charlotte Aquatics reopened its pool to young swimmers—but not without major precautions.

As the state of North Carolina moves through its phases of reopening amid COVID-19, parents are rightfully wondering which local programs they can support.
More importantly, parents are wondering how those local programs have adapted safety measures to keep children safe and healthy.
The Center for Disease Control recently outlined safety guidelines specifically for public pools that are welcoming swimmers back into their waters.
One of those pools is the well-known, mom-owned Charlotte Aquatics, which has been teaching water safety to swimmers of all ages since 1996.
After closing immediately amid COVID-19 news, the popular swim school has followed suit with the state and officially reopened on June 8.
Not throwing caution to the wind, Charlotte Aquatics has implemented multiple changes to ensure the safety of swimmers, parents, and their team.
The major change? Charlotte Aquatics is only offering private lessons. They are adhering to Phase 2 rules encouraging social distancing and, therefore, reduced capacity.
