[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, indoor swimming is too risky. Especially since you cant wear masks when you swim.

When I lived in London I swam outdoors year round. They heated the pools. It worked fine.[/quote]

No but you mostly breathe out through the water. The droplets will be well mixed with the hypochlorite in the water. And the spacing even at 4/lane is quite good.

With club swim, you are exposed to the same people every. If your team has a good culture and you trust the other families to not come in if there is any positive among extended contacts, then the risk is lowered further.

Like anything else it comes with some risk. This is going to be going on for a while so you need to decide the acceptable risk level, which applies to everything your family does, not just swim. But the risk is pretty low compared to a lot of things people seem to think are ok. [/quote]

The problem is different families have different risk tolerance.  Many are traveling and eating out (excluding employment) and there is a huge risk from those families.  People can spread COVID and be asymptomatic.

There have been several reports of COVID on swim teams.  NCAP and RMSC.[/quote]
