I don’t think the relay meet is back on. Unclear if the distributed divisional meet is staying or if the regular divisional meet is back on.

May be tough to find pools willing to host relay carnivals and divisionals with that many people packed in. Even pre-pandemic, lots of neighborhood pools like ours weren’t big enough.

I agree, that makes sense.

That is a long way away. Maybe there will be some agreement to lower capacity for those meets specifically so kids can swim.

Me too! I am sure rules will exist at the pool level but bravo to MCSL for reconsidering given the CDC, state and county guidance.

The CDC guidance is separate for kids under 12, which is the bulk of many teams.

There is no need for the parents to be there. That would help.

Young kids need supervision.

Relay carnival is typically a zoo and corralling the kids to get together with their relay teams and to their races at the right time can be tough. If it's allowed this year, I hope MCSL and teams account for sufficient volunteer staffing. Pure spectators are the most expendable part of the event.

No relay carnival (or relay all stars) and divisionals is still planned as three dual meets

When would the divisional meets be if they are 3 dual meets? The MCSL calendar lists a single date for all star relays and the regular window for divisionals.
Our pool just announced no restrictions. I would assume everything is on.

Our pool just announced basically everything back to pre-covid: no masks outside for anyone.

The reps are voting on a rule that would require masks I’m crowded areas at A meets. MCSL appears to be deferring to pools re B meet protocols.

DIVISIONALS 7/24 as calendar shows, but instead of 6 teams at one pool, they will be at 3 pools like a regular meet week.
I’ve heard it will be paired by dual meet results rank 1&2, 3&4, 5&6

The email said no relay carnival and they are looking into having individual all stars split across that weekend.

I wish they would have divisionals as two 3-team meets. That way you have a full pool (2 swimmers per team per event) and it feels more like a “big” meet without being crazy crowded like it usually is. With the 2-team approach it will be smaller than a normal dual meet.

I agree! It doesn’t sound like they are planning for any changes, but maybe this idea will come around?

That's a great idea.

Kids under 12 cannot be vaccinated. It makes zero sense to risk kids health so you can have you so called normal.
