Dear cold-water swimmers,
The I. PKO Praha clubhouse will reopen on 7 June 2021, subject to the following rules indoors:
1. Visitors must have no clinical symptoms of COVID-19.
2. On entry, visitors must show a negative COVID-19 test, proof of vaccination or proof of recovery, in accordance with the detailed requirements below points 1–7.
3. Sign the visitors’ book with your first name and surname.
4. Wear a respirator covering your nose and mouth.
5. Keep at least two metres apart.
6. Ensure as much ventilation as possible.
7. The member on duty (keyholder) will check compliance; visitors must follow the instructions of these authorised members.
Miloš Paseka will be the keyholder on Monday 7 and Wednesday 9 June. Other club keyholders, please contact him with the times when you can volunteer for duty.
At last — SEE YOU BY THE WATER! :-)
Tomáš Prokop, club chair.
PS: The “Palouček” refreshment kiosk by the clubhouse is open again. Given the impact of the pandemic and its efforts to keep prices unchanged, we will not be using last year’s “cold-water swimmers’ discount”.
