[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did this crazy lady explain why swim lessons are ok? There's no way to be six feet apart when giving swim lessons. [/quote]

From what I remember upthread, someone said the swim lessons lobbyists advocated hard to get swim lessons included in phase 2. Doesn’t make sense but there you go, gotta have $$ and connections to have a seat at the table. [/quote]

honestly- I think this is the answer.  This is part of 'commerce and trade.'  They care what people like Goldfish swim school, and tom dolan swim school and kids first swim school have to say.  Those places wanted to be allowed to open indoors and get an exception to allow swim instructors closer to kids.  This lady had the chutzpah to say she really wanted kids to be able to learn to swim this summer.  But in her head- all learning to swim takes place at an indoor 'swim school' not just learning in an outdoor pool which doesn't have 'organized' swim lessons.   
That webinar made me extremely angry.  [/quote]

Yes. Goldfish and Kids First etc. are businesses and they are pushing hard to be able to operate. Pool clubs are local nonprofits, basically. I know a bunch of them wrote a letter to the governor but without the right connections, it apparently went right to the circular file. [/quote]

Yes. 27 clubs at the time. Letter may have gone a bit late in the process. The group is over 40 now. [/quote]
