Large swim meets will be canceled but the question is will the teams still be able to practice especially with the larger teams of 200+ kids.

Does this include the pools too or just the swim teams?

If this were set in stone for outdoor gatherings then the season would have been cancelled already. The (VA, anyway) governor bases decisions on a lot of changing factors, including what we learn about seasonality of the disease. His orders follow the data, and swim league decisions follow from there.

We’re ODSL too. Have they discussed refunds?

I’d personally rather know sooner than the last minute so we can make other plans this summer (summer school,
Road trip, etc.).

Hopefully they won’t make a final decision today.

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

Is it clear why they are pushing to cancel completely right now?

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.

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.

+1. The HOA/neighborhood swim teams should be fine financially. If a pool doesn't want to participate, that's fine.

That sucks. It seems like they could have waited a few more weeks to decide.

Seriously. Making the decision now seems really premature
