[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may also see a standardized drop in the number of timers.  Right now you need three timers per lane, plus the Head Timer plus 2 stroke and turn judges at each end of the pool.  That's a LOT of adults.  Might drop it to 1 or 2 timers to ease congestion right there.  Possibly require adults on deck to be masked.

I think we'll see competitions but with restrictions.[/quote]

1 timer per lane is part of the discussion, yes.[/quote]

I hope that three can still be in the cards, but who knows.[/quote]

Why? One is fine. It's not the Olympics.[/quote]

I hate this type of response. No, it’s not the Olympics. But, is it so hard to understand that some kids really care about swimming? For some, it’s their sport. Maybe they can’t afford club swimming and summer swim team is their chance to compete. It’s like saying who cares if you can’t keep score in basketball or soccer because it’s not the Olympics. Some kids enjoy the competition. One timer is problematic because there are no touch pads and people are human and miss getting times. I think two timers per lane would suffice though. [/quote]

If you love swimming, you will just swim and not worry about competitions.  [/quote]

That’s not how it works. It’s competitive swimming, that’s what make it a sport. Kids who care about it want to improve their times and get faster by working hard. Good gracious this is a ridiculous comment. [/quote]
