[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anything from NVSL yet?[/quote]

Their board meets this afternoon [/quote]

Hopefully they won’t make a final decision today.[/quote]

There are a few teams making a strong push for canceling altogether. The vast majority have been quiet.[/quote]

Is it clear why they are pushing to cancel completely right now?[/quote]

I think those pools in NVSL wanting you scrap are not in good financial situations and want to know yes or no. I wish NVSL could figure out how to modify but the insurance is the tough part. [/quote]

Maybe those pools should decide to not participate this year and not pressure the nvsl to make a hasty decision on behalf of the rest.[/quote]

Take for example a swim club that has already decided to not open this summer. If a nearby club opens and there is some type of competitive swim team season the cub that isn’t opening stands to lose members to the others.[/quote]

Most swim teams are limited to kids in the neighborhood or families who belong to the pool.[/quote]

That sounds like an HOA pool. Our club mostly pulls from the immediate neighborhood, but we have members from a decent ways away. If a pool doesn’t open and a nearby pool does, then the families from the closed pool might go to the other. If there is some type of team season the kids could swim for that other team. We probably have at least 4 or 5 clubs within 2 miles of each other.[/quote]

I have several pools within a 6 mile radius or so of my house (Arlington).  But they all have crazy long waiting lists.  They also have substantial corporate membership fees.  If say Overlee doesn't open- but Tuckahoe does- I don't see a mass exodus from Overlee b/c it wouldn't help the kids this summer either way.[/quote]
