[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m about to pull my two out of summer league because they are the only kids seemingly capable of distancing or masking, and they are both under 12, so unvaccinated. Could someone explain to me why you are so comfortable - nay, hell bent! - to not have your kids wear masks at crowded events? Outdoor or indoor, crowded is clearly a risk. I am not okay with my kids getting COVID. It’s not hard to enforce a little distance or a mask when distancing is hard.

The science is pretty clear - unvaccinated people need to mask or distance. Why are we abandoning it? [/quote]

You 100% need to pull your kids out. [/quote]

I have my kids wearing masks anytime they go inside somewhere.   A swim meet is different.   This winter I saw exhausted 8 and unders 'swimming back' after doing their 25s to 'retrieve their mask.'   It slowed down the meet significantly.  8 and unders swimming club are reasonably proficient swimmers- can you imagine 6 and under doing this in summer swim????  some of those kids can barely make it across once.   I saw numerous kids gasping for breath after they swam hard, being ordered to put their mask immediately on their wet faces- the cloth masks then adhered to their wet faces making breathing harder.

The most 'crowded' place at a swim meet is the clerk of course.  I'm not worried about them sitting there unmasked b/c they are outside, and the transmission in our area right now is extraordinarily low.   But if you do mask there- you have to figure out what to do with the masks when they get up to swim- which is how you get into this scenario of needing 25's to 'swim back'   of needing plastic bags for masks, that blow around in the wind, including into the water.. etc..

If we were talking an event where they could just keep their masks on the whole time and neither their faces or masks was wet- I would feel differently about masking 11 and unders.....[/quote]

Clerk of course can be adjusted so that it isn’t crowded. We don’t have to do it the way it’s always been done. [/quote]
