3/15/20:: Hi LWRG Parents!
We at LWRG would like to give you an update on our gymnastics training status.
Due to the coronavirus and CDC guidelines, some changes are being made to our spring break schedule and routines. We are rearranging schedules to limit the number of gymnasts sharing the gym at the same time. All of our teams will be coming at staggered times throughout the day as to not overwhelm the gym in our afternoon/evening hours.
Each child will be encouraged to wash their hands or to put on hand sanitizer that we will provide before entering into the gym. We will not be using carpet squares for our preschool classes or giving hand stamps. We will also be doing fist/elbow bumps instead of high fives. We are requesting your child bring his/her own water bottles and if you can drop off your child that would be a tremendous help. 🙂
The gym is being cleaned by our professional cleaning company every morning. We have had all carpet steam clean and all mats and equipment have been disinfected.
Please if your child is not feeling well, has a low immune system, or has a family member that is ill(or has low immune system), keep them home. We have instructed our employees to do the same.
Our goal at LWRG is to provide some normalcy for our gymnasts in this very abnormal situation. Fortunately, children are the least susceptible to the virus. That being said we completely understand if you do not want to bring your child to class during this time. We have several options for your child’s membership moving forward. Please call the office at 941 753-FLIP or email us at info@lakewoodranchgymnastics.com for more details.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we are all navigating this for the first time. Stay happy and healthy!
Sincerely, Laura & David Parraga
Sign up today! As with every summer very limited space. 🤸☀️
