The state has reclassified club swimming as low risk, when protocols are in place. After all, they are swimming in disinfectant!

It’s now in the hands of the county to determine capacity.

Thanks for this, good to know.

There really isn't much space other than the county run pools, and even places that have been other clubs' "homes" in the past may not be available right now.

Georgetown Prep is used by a few clubs (NCAP, TOLL, JFD), but they are currently not renting space. This is a big loss, they have more lanes than the other schools and were able to rent to several groups.
Stone Ridge and Holton Arms usually rent space, I think ASA is currently using SR, not sure of anything else.
Montgomery College has pools used by a few groups, not sure what the current status is.
Quince Orchard bubble (JFD, TIBU?, NCAP?)
Lifetime (their own team)
Silver Spring YMCA (their own team)

A few clubs use Fairland (PG County)

Landon has an outdoor pool, is anyone using that?

some clubs are renting country club pools.
Montgomery College pool is closed when I looked.

It's going to happen. As long as they have been following procedures, it shouldn't be a big deal.

I'm not worried if it's a single case of a person who probably got it elsewhere but wondering if their procedure is to quarantine the whole team and the coach. Or whether they hope people were distant enough that others are unlikely to have gotten it.

There is not a procedure to quarantine the group because if they have been following protocols, they would not have the exposure to require this. I’m not at MLK, but I don’t know of any groups that have quarantined and I do know there have been single cases here and there.

it will really be up to the health department when contact tracing is performed. If they determine a swimmer was face to face with someone long enough, then they would say to quarantine.

What did coaches/facility managers tell parents about the positive case ?

Very little, just that a parent reported a child’s positive test but, protocols had been followed

It is a big deal.

We weren't told anything.

If it’s not in my group, I wouldn’t expect to be.

You weren’t told anything because your swimmer wasn’t impacted.
