CLOTHING GUIDELINES
ROBERT J. SURTEES ATHLETICS CENTRE
Clothing and Footwear Guidelines
Nipissing Lakers Athletics adopted a new set of guidelines for the Nipissing Robert J. Surtees Athletic Centre.
Based on feedback received from students and health care professionals, and after researching what other Canadian institutions have put in place for their health and wellness facilities, we have decided to institute clothing and footwear guidelines out of concern for personal hygiene, health and safety reasons.
Clothing
• Clothing should be clean and scent-free
• All clothing must be free of profanity, offensive language and offensive graphics
• Clothing should be free of attachments such as buckles/velcro/snaps that could get caught in, or damage, equipment
• Shirts covering full abdomen and back
• Shorts/pants should be of sufficient length to cover buttocks/groin
• No jeans
Footwear
• Clean, closed-toe athletic footwear should be worn in fitness rooms, gymnasium, weight room and squash courts
• No flip flops or sandals in workout areas
• No outdoor footwear is permitted in workout areas.
*Outdoor footwear; shoes on your feet when entering the building
