Hi
can guests use a private pool that is just for their use during their stay yet?
@Sarah3462 I would say yes as its part of a private dwelling - If the house had a gym surely that would be ok even though public gyms are closed - Swimming pools are surely the same.
Thank you so much
Public pools in England are allowed to reopen from 25 July, but I guess this doesn't apply to a privately rented place like yours, as long as the place is cleaned thoroughly between guests.
As reported: "it's not the actual swimming that's the risk but it is all the other stuff that goes with it - the changing rooms, getting in and out the pool and the risk of shared showers." (not relevant in your case)

Thank you so much!
I would imagine as long as you have the right cleaning systems in place as part of your Covid cleaning policy you should be fine @Sarah3462
Most pools have enough chemicals in them to kill off far bigger bugs than covid, @Sarah3462, and it was the mingling/shared spaces (forgetting those nasty sticking plasters) in sport centres/pools that caused them to be closed.
This one was closed, because of too many COvid cases in the area. The hot mineral water itself is not enough to kill the virus.
Thank you so much!
Thanks everyone , I’ve confirmed to the guest - just needed that reassurance!
