[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talking with our swim rep part of the problem is that if you set a rule that non-vax need to mask, they can't be trusted.  At this point the only people not vaxxed are those who believe it's not necessary, and therefore also likely believe masks are unnecessary.

CDC has said risk is very low of outdoor transmission but still large gatherings should be avoided if unvaxxed and/or unmasked.  Half of any swim team is not vaxxed simply due to age.  Between kids and adults you can have potentially 400-500 people in a given space.  Reasonable adults can have very different opinions on what is an acceptable level of risk.  [/quote]

The chances of asymptomatic kids spreading it to each other, outside, in a pool, is basically zero. But those concerned are free to wear and make their kids wear masks. It’s quite simple to accommodate.[/quote]

Written like a person who has not watched the 8 and under practice. Those kids have zero distancing ability. I don’t care where they are - being 2 inches apart, nose to nose, is unacceptable in any time (covid or not). Add covid and some adults who don’t believe in vaccines or masking and I really can’t see why we can’t mandate masks at these large events. It doesn’t hurt anyone and it protects the kids who can’t be vaccinated (and may be the victims in the 8u popping bubble crowd). [/quote]

So...make YOUR kids wear masks, or stay home. The rest of us can assess the “risk” for ourselves. [/quote]

The NVSL isn’t requiring masks, so aren’t we beating a dead horse here? [/quote]

Our rep is interpreting it as we DO have to wear masks:  "While those who are vaccinated do not have to wear masks, it is recommended that all swimmers (especially unvaccinated swimmers – with special attention to swimmers under 12 who are not able to be vaccinated) wear a mask in the designated team areas at dual meets."[/quote]

Timers, Stroke & Turn Judges, Referee & Starter, and Table workers should wear masks
