The problem with calling the pool a “fitness center” is that those guidelines require the use of masks all the time, which is obviously not possible at the pool.
For the record, I am comfortable with RMSC’s protocol to date and limiting a building like KSAC or GISC to 25 people total is absurd.
Swimming is excluded from mask requirements, obviously (Lifetime, YMCA, JCC, One Life... any other fitness center with pool)

+1, totally comfortable with how they have been handling practices - assigned lanes, limited kids overall, masks on out of the pool, gear is kept by the lane, separate entrances/exits and no congregating.

The order says that indoor pools are only limited to 75% capacity. As far as I can tell, the 25 person limit does not apply to the actual swimmers. The only difference I can see is that parents might not be allowed to watch (practices or meets).
That doesn’t sound like 11/10 order and the problem is there are limits for “gatherings” (25 people in any venue) and limited for certain businesses like fitness centers and restaurants (25% capacity). They don’t specify aquatic centers and it’s being interpreted differently.
The va order from the governor this week excludes sports.
RMSC is Montgomery County, MD.

Unfortunately MoCo is (inconsistently?) tightening up

Same here. I have one advanced kid and one regular kid. I don’t know either of their schedule, but my advanced kid did report her coach expects fewer practices on the horizon.

That makes sense. One email we got said 25 people in the entire facility vs. in pool area.

So sorry, I was looking at the VA order.

No, one email we got said the entire pool. We had two kids per lane and that seemed more than reasonable as kids stayed at opposite ends. We are really risk adverse.
It sounds like they asked for an exception and were denied.

Are all the groups seeing a cut back in times/swim hours or just the regular kids are getting reduced time again? We barely swim as it is so now those kids cannot ever catch up to the advanced kids if they have far less swim time.
