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.

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.

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

Its pretty sad that the competitive swim parents who need their kids to win for their bragging rights don't care about the rest of our swim kids.

You keep just repeating kids under 12 can’t be vaccinated, a fact that everyone not living under a rock is already well aware of. What exactly about MCSL complying with the CDCs guidance are you having such an issue with? Is there something you think they should be doing that they are not, or is it that you don’t think they should be having a season at all and becuase of that you just keep bombing threads with the statement that kids under 12 can’t get vaxxed yet? Participation in summer swim isn’t compulsory so you can just opt out if you think it’s too risky for your child to participate.

I’m the poster you are replying to. I’m sorry your risk tolerance is so low. I presume your children have never ridden in a car, rode a bike, swam in a pool, etc.. Because all of those activities and more present a greater risk to a child’s health than the possibility of acquiring a non-trivial case of covid at an outdoor swim meet at a time when community transmission of covid is “very low”. I and obviously many other parents have made the decision that having a normalish swim season presents much more benefits than risks to our recreational swimmer children. If you don’t feel the same way you are welcome to not participate.

Huh? The whole reason I want a summer season for my kids is they aren’t on a competitive team. This is there only chance to learn stroke swimming unless I am able to enroll them in expensive lessons. Please don’t pretend to know everyone’s thinking on this.

There is someone posting on here who is obviously struggling with reopening and I feel sorry for them. It might be better to stop replying.

I'm an NP.

To PP who keeps posting about others not caring about her child: I don't really understand what you want. Are you asking for MCSL not to have a season? For masks to be mandatory?

I would personally be fine with having my kids wear masks out of the water at the pool for practices, meets and just in general. It doesn't really harm them and it would make some people feel safer.

There's a lot of anxiety about opening up and I know it's happening really quickly so I have a lot of empathy for you but I don't think it's really based on science.

Science is saying masks help and small groups and distancing. Having 50-100 kids per practice and several hundred or more at meets is not safe. So, those who don’t care about safety get their kids to swim while ours suffer and miss out as they don’t care. Those rating about their kids suffering are fake as they are the ones who have carried on with life with swim meets, travel, eating out, and socializing which puts the swim kids at risk who are only swimming. But, hey, it’s all about the win as these are not kids who practice with their summer teams and they just show up for meets and that’s it. Mcsl should require these kids to attend practices and be apart of the team.

County has cheap lessons and you don’t learn much on summer swim team. Or, that is our experience. Your kids don’t get to the a meets as they are dominated by the year round kids who only show up to win. It’s a world you don’t see yet. Your kids should be getting those meet opportunities since they go to practices.

I have actually experienced summer swim and maybe it will hit differently but we thought our kids got a lot out of swim team. I am not expecting them to swim in college but rather have a neighborhood team that is fun where they learn. I can’t swim a legal butterfly and thought it was cool that they can. We have a pool with a smaller team and pretty good coaching so maybe we are not the norm. And, it was actually fun to see the really good year round swimmers who have worked really hard win stuff. My kids focused on their times and didn’t put this much thought into it. I viewed it as a pretty cheap, safe fun activity for my kids to do every day.

Disagree with this, in our experience kids learn a lot from swimming most days. But I suppose it depends on the quality of coaching.

Good for your kids. We haven't had that experience and always paid for private lessons up till COVID hit.

As do I. Clearly we have different definitions of safe.
For the millionth time, if it’s not safe enough for you, you can opt out.

Are you just miserable in general? There are probably ways you can deal with that don’t involve obsessively posting on DCUM about how everyone is selfish, your kids aren’t safe, and we should all be in strict lockdown.
