Coronavirus Update

The safety and well-being of Poolwerx clients is always top of mind, therefore, we have been actively monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19).  As a company that prides itself on maintaining healthy swimming pools and hot tubs, we wanted to share with you some actions that we are taking as a company to keep our communities safe.

Pools and Hot Tubs

First and foremost, according to the CDC, there is no evidence that pools or hot tubs can spread the virus.

As destination travel is discouraged and more people choose to stay at home, we want to remind our clients that now, more than ever, proper pool care is critical. If you have any questions about properly maintaining your pool or hot tub, please call Poolwerx at 1-800-407-6657.

Retail Locations

Our retail locations will remain operational. In addition to following the CDC’s best practices for personal preventative measures and handwashing, we are increasing the frequency in which we disinfect commonly shared surfaces and supplying our employees with hand sanitizers, disinfect wipes, and sprays.

We also encourage our clients to call in any product orders ahead of your visit, and if the location is able, we will arrange curbside delivery to minimize contact.

Services

Services, maintenance, and repairs will continue as scheduled unless otherwise directed by the client. Our pool technicians are also armed with disinfectants and have been instructed to wipe down vehicle surfaces, tools, and equipment.

Employees

We have instructed any employee that may be experiencing symptoms to take personal time. Any employee that has been diagnosed with COVID-19, or that has come into contact with someone that has been diagnosed, is being required to self-isolate themselves for up to 14 days to prevent any further exposure.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to call us at 1-800-407-6657.

Thanks,

Team Poolwerx

Poolwerx Teams up with Aqua-Tots and Goldfish Swim Schools to provide swim lessons during Learn2Swim Month Partnerships to Bring Greater Awareness to Swimming Lessons as they are Proven to Help Prevent Accidental Drowning Drowning is the nation’s leading cause of death for children under the age of four. Swim lessons can reduce the risk of childhood drownings by 88%, according to the National Institutes of Health. Beginning April 1, 2023, also known as April Pools Day, Poolwerx is teaming up with Aqua-tots Swim Schools and Goldfish Swim School to focus on the importance of water safety and drowning prevention and education for both parents and children by offering free introductory swimming lessons to children under five. Throughout Learn2Swim Month, April 1-30, 2023, customers can visit the Poolwerx website to sign up and redeem a free trial swim lesson at nearby participating Aqua-Tots Swim School or Goldfish Swim School locations. Lessons must be redeemed by July 31, 2023. The goal of this initiative is to promote swim and water safety ahead of pool season and the upcoming summer months when families begin dipping their toes back in the water. “At Poolwerx, our motto is 'for healthy pool people.' We firmly believe that in addition to providing clients with healthy pools, we have an opportunity to help families feel safe around their pools,” says Chief Executive Officer of Poolwerx USA, Andrew Kidd. "We want to ensure our clients can enjoy their pools confidently throughout the year while we continue serving them the best way we know how: with quality pool products and services.” "The drowning statistics of children in the USA are alarming. Last year, to help support the well-being of our clients, we launched our partnerships to raise awareness of the serious issue of childhood drowning and encourage families to help teach their little ones to swim," he says. According to Total Aquatics Programming data, the summer months (May to August) account for two-thirds of annual childhood drowning incidents, Drowning can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone, but there are several water safety tips to help reduce the risk and keep families safe this summer. “We live in a world where too many accidents happen around water,” said Craig Wright, CEO of Aqua-Tots Swim Schools. “In fact, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of four, and swim lessons can reduce that risk by 88%. We’ve been committed to teaching children how to swim for over 30 years, and this year, we’re proud to partner with Poolwerx to create even more safe and confident swimmers!” “At Goldfish Swim School, we have created an inviting, safe, and stimulating environment where kids can overcome their fears, learn to swim, and have tons of fun doing it,” said Goldfish Swim School Co-Founder & CEO Chris McCuiston. “During Learn2Swim Month, a program we are thrilled to be part of, we are committed to sharing the life-saving benefits of lessons by offering an incredible swimming experience in the safest and most fun environment possible.” “Swimming is a healthy activity that can continue for a lifetime. As well as being fun, it’s a great way to keep fit and the list of long-term health benefits of swimming is long. Swimming builds endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular fitness.  It helps you maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart, can improve sleep and relax both children and adults,” continues Kidd. “We know that our customers don’t just value clear water, they value clean, healthy water. At Poolwerx, we pride ourselves on our expertise and always strive to give our customers the best and safest swimming conditions. This drives our active endorsement, partnership with Goldfish and Aqua-Tots, and year-round support for all families who would like easy access to lessons for the littlest of future swimmers.” About Poolwerx Founded in 1992 by entrepreneur John O'Brien, Poolwerx has grown to become a global pool brand and the largest in the pool service industry, with nearly 600 service vehicles and 160 plus stores.
