Current parent of a swimmer. No information beyond what you have. Just from being involved in schools stuff, I know that the pool where they swim is closed over the summer, because there is HVAC and plumbing work being done in the school. So, they can’t hold evaluations until the pool is reopened. But when that will be is still not clear.

They are just waiting for the pools to allow groups to swim. Which should be soon.

There was a kind of odd exchange about this at the Arlington Aquatics advisory committee meeting Tuesday. Allegedly APS greenlighted groups to swim on Tuesday 'in a limited fashion' and possibly more restricted. The aquatics people were then meeting with groups on Wed to offer them slots..... I have yet to see any of the groups that typically use APS pools- AAC, York, Swim Farm, Norman- come out with a schedule. After seeing APS interpretation of Phase 3 rules for general swim, I shudder to think what restrictions are being put on the groups, and suspect it may not be financially viable.

I didn't see what APS interpreted phase three rules as - assuming more restricted. If groups are good now, then yes, it is working within the frame work. AAC is subsidized and should be in a better shape than the other clubs to put something together. It will probably be 3 to a lane as a limit.

York registration was today. They have groups swimming in several different facilities, including Yorktown. They actually offered more choices than I expected, but the groups are much smaller than usual. I don’t know the actual numbers, but some of the groups filled immediately.

But York doesn't use any Arlington pools, which seems to be the hang up.

Must only be for returning swimmers, as the website is still reporting postponement. Any info on when new swimmers might be able to try out?

I would be very surprised if there will be space for new swimmers.

Nice attitude. Enjoy the swim season.

I think that there is a chance for new swimmers. They are reaching out and going through their past swimmers first to see who will be swimming and who will not be swiming this year. If they have space then they will allow more swimmers in. They JUST notified former swimmers a few days ago.
