[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope this is true for DH, but I don't have much hope given the fact that they are only allowing 12 families at a time in the pool this weekend (out of 500 family memberships) and restricting people to roped off sections. And sending an email to the entire membership threatening to kick people out of the pool if they revolt was a little much. btw-- one of the only reasons that swim team happened last summer was because there were a number of board members with competitive year-round swimmers (including last year's board president), but most of them decided not to run for re-election.  I don't think the DH swim team is as well represented on the board this year as they have been in previous years, and I expect the board may take a heavier hand this year given their conservative stance on social distancing and the fact that most swim team members are too young to be vaccinated. Hopefully I am wrong.  [/quote]

Swim team is still very well represented on the board.  They may not be as vocal but a fair number are swim team families.  I think it will be closer to normal than last year but I'm just guessing.  [/quote]

It's a 12-person board at DH.  I believe 9 of them are swim parents, it was 10 before one board member resigned.  These are people who are at the pool a lot both recreating and for swim and dive.  Stop acting like they want to keep you from the pool.  They took an approach to risk assessment that some agreed with and some didn't.  The reminder of the code of conduct was valid - look at McCrazy's posts on the FB page goading one board member to quit because "we don't need you" and saying "screw you".  The abusiveness and vitriol heaped on volunteers from among our membership making the best decisions they could was out of control.  Many offered constructive feedback, others were downright horrible in their attacks.

I heard back from the governor's office today and they confirmed the intent is to lift all regulations at midnight on 5/28 (Thursday --> Friday).  The board knows that and is counting down the days.[/quote]
