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.  [/quote]

Science says outdoor transmission basically does not happen. There have been studies that rounded up studies that showed that there is very little risk of outdoor transmission.

Since you are still worried there are a lot of things you can do to minimize her risk. You can have our child participate but have them social distance and then pull your child out as soon as her event are finished. Make sure she masks herself.

All my kids are under 12, and I'm happy they are having a season. I would happily accommodate people like you by masking myself and having my kids mask but  I think a great deal of harm would have come from having no season. There are a lot of kids in mental distress right now and that is really real versus the theoretical risk of a child getting sick from covid. At any given pool you and I both know there are very depressed children right now. At any given pool the risk of any one child getting severely ill is close to zero even if every child got infected.

Maybe the depression is more and COVID is just and excuse by parents.  The kids I know who are depressed are for a reason - either mental health issues that run in the family or family issues that aren't talked about/homelife.

Mine will not be doing meets because of folks on here except if our pool does it safely, which I'm not counting on.  It may be worth the risk to you, but its not to us.  But, no one seems to care about kids who aren't able to participate, just made up depression and other things so the parents can justify their choices and behavior.  Its not just about being severely ill.  We simply don't know and many report long term health issues, which are more concerning to me.  Why would you deliberately place your child in a situation that puts them at risk for a serious illness?  I don't get parents like you and it punishes kids like mine as we cannot relax because of the choices and attitudes like yours.   If the ref's are not masked and waiting right at the end of the pool where the kids pass to get out, that is hardly safe if they don't move out of the way.  When kids are waiting for their turn they are generally placed very close together to keep track of them.  It helps being outdoors but there is still a risk.  [/quote]

Outdoor sports have been played without masks for an entire year in circumstances far more iffy (pre-vaccine with bodies banging around) than swimming. Hopefully for your kid, you get out of their way and let them back into the world.[/quote]
