6 kids in a lane isn't safe.


Have you seen the description of how this will work? Kids are never standing in, entering or exiting the water near each other. We’ve been spacing 4 per lane indoors for months, they figured with similar spacing guidelines up to 6 would be acceptable outdoors.

But Elrich and co are mental so who knows.

They did, and MCSL has gotten similar allowances for practices. For meets, I don’t think PVS has run any meets in MoCo.

Agree Elrich is loco

6 ft apart outside at a pool during the summer when most adults will have been vaccinated, but the CDC says unvaccinated kids can be 3 ft apart inside at school. Makes total sense 🙄


Unless Virginia changes things, I expect 10’ apart outside unless with family and masks on deck.

Hopefully the regs are further updated as we get closer to summer. Could easily run a normal dual meet if you require all adult volunteers (eg timers) to be vaccinated, plus other minor changes (masks, distancing). But since this is MoCo I’m sure they won’t be reasonable and will make up a bunch of arbitrary rules.

Evidence? I haven’t heard of any cases of transmission due to swimming.

Because of varying deck sizes and set ups the NVSL is leaving the decision about spectators up to each pool.

Thanks for this update! I haven’t seen much from MCSL, so it’s nice to know there is some progress being made. Has there been any thought to allowing spectators that have been vaccinated?
