[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you need to do social distsncing in the pool?  Chlorine kills it and you're in open air.[/quote]

Chlorine won’t help when the swimmer in the lane next to you cough or sneezes. Then there is the issue of the team area, clerk of course....[/quote]

There are usually tons of kids waiting at the side of the pool for practice.  We have 10-15 kids at times in one lane.  The meets with 300+ kids on two large teams, plus families is a recipe for disaster.[/quote]

Riiiight. So you have to do it differently.[/quote]

Explain how you think it could work. The option I see for summer swim
Fail:

1. Practice is spread out over time - instead of from 8-11:30, it’s much longer so that fewer kids come to many practices. Nope - coach won’t wait around for that and the pool can’t close all day.

2. Kids swim and don’t stop at either end. Nope - summer (only) swimmers can’t do this.

3. Kids swim a few laps and get out and rest. Won’t for work many 8 and unders and some 9-10s. Who will keep them apart while they rest?  The coach will be watching those finishing swimming and not the kids out of the pool. Who has enough deck space to do this effectively? Kids will try to talk to each other.

4. Kids swim a lap then get out and slowly walk around the pool and get in again. Some kids will be faster and several will still be hitting the wall at the same time as the person ahead of them. Likely bottlenecks will happen.
