How to get a certificate for a child
At K+31, you can get a certificate for a swimming pool without any hassle. Everything happens quickly: from the moment you apply to receiving the completed form, it often takes just one day.
The process looks like this:
- Appointment with the pediatrician, examination, and a short conversation with the parents
- Testing (if necessary)
- Preparation and issuance of the established report
The doctor assesses the child's general condition, checks the skin and respiratory system, and determines the presence of chronic diseases. If anything raises doubts, issuance will be postponed until the child has fully recovered.
What documents are needed?
To obtain a certificate, parents should bring:
- Birth certificate or passport
- Compulsory medical insurance policy or payment for the service upon request (paid).
- Referral from a trainer (if available)
- Previous test results, if available.
If no tests are required, everything can be done directly at the clinic. This is convenient and takes minimal time.
What information should be included in the certificate?
The form has a standard format and includes:
- Child's information (full name, age)
- Pediatrician's examination results
- Test results (stool test for helminth eggs, scraping, fungal test)
- A note on the absence of infections and skin diseases
- The date, the specialist's signature, and the institution's seal
This form is suitable for both individual training and group classes.
How long is the certificate valid?
The permit is valid for up to six months. If the child regularly visits the pool and has not had contact with sick people, the document must be renewed twice a year. Some sports schools have their own validity periods of up to three months.
For a one-time visit (e.g., to a competition or water park), the validity period is approximately 30 days. After a cold or flu, a follow-up examination by a doctor is recommended.

FAQ
Can I visit a swimming pool without a health certificate?
No, most swimming pools do not allow children without proof of health. This is a sanitary requirement. Even if a child feels well, they may still be carrying an infection, so a health certificate is required.
Do I need a medical certificate to enter the water park?
A medical certificate is usually not required for one-time visits. However, if a child visits the water park regularly or is taking swimming lessons, a permit will be required. The administration reserves the right to deny entry without a medical certificate.
What are the dangers of fake swimming pool certificates?
Fake documents are not only illegal but also a health risk. If a child is sick, they can infect others and develop complications themselves. A genuine certificate guarantees the safety of all visitors.
What symptoms prevent you from going to the pool?
Swimming is contraindicated if:
- You have a fever
- You have a cough, runny nose, or rash
- You have fungal infections of the nails or feet
- You have inflamed eyes or conjunctivitis
- Your child has recently had a cold, flu, chickenpox, etc.
Any illness is a reason to temporarily avoid swimming.
What should I do if I have an infant using the pool?
For infants, a special certificate is issued after a pediatrician's examination. The doctor assesses their general condition, heart and lung function, and skin condition. Parents are given aftercare recommendations. The certificate is usually valid for one month.
What diseases are not transmitted through pool water?
Chlorinated water kills most viruses, including those that cause acute respiratory viral infections. However, fungal or intestinal infections can be transmitted through shared surfaces. Therefore, it is important to maintain hygiene and avoid visiting the pool if you are feeling unwell.
How to protect yourself and others in the pool?
To ensure your swimming sessions are beneficial:
- Keep a current certificate handy
- Shower before training
- Use your own swimming cap and slippers
- Do not allow your child to participate in swimming if they show signs of illness
- Get preventative checkups at least once a year
Regular checkups with a pediatrician help maintain your child's health and your parents' peace of mind.
K+31 also offers similar documents for adults. This is convenient for families who use the pool together—all the necessary certificates can be obtained in one visit.
