The season starts June 15 and ends August 1.  Practice will be Monday-Thursday practice schedule (45 minute practice), 3 Saturday morning swim meets (all at Steeplechase) and 1 All City Meet at the end of the season (pending final confirmation from the Y and status of COVID-19 situation).  

 

Things that will be different –

·         No parents will be allowed on the deck inside the fence during practice or meets.  We ask that you remain outside the fence and follow social distancing guidelines.  It is advised you bring your own chair.  Pool furniture can not be taken outside the fence.  This will be the case for meets as well.  Some parents of younger swimmers may be asked to come inside. 

·         Coaches will ask each athlete a series of question about their health before they are permitted to enter practice, please do not leave until your child has entered the pool gate.   

·         See full attachment of AESC Summer League Plan attached.  Please note everything is subject to change as the COVID-19 situation is unpredictable. 

 

We will gauge interest for team shirts and reach a decision shortly.

** I need one lovely parent who will be at all morning practices to volunteer to the be “Representative” during those practices – I cannot attend them as I work full time.  It will require you just be the designated contact for anything out of the ordinary.  I can always be reached on my cell to assist. 

 

Looking forward to another fun summer in the pool!  If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
