Dear members,
As we continue to navigate these challenging times, we remain focused on supporting our teams and members in their return to training and competition.
We are aware of the considerable differences and effects of the COVID-19 crisis across the country and are being mindful of these as we further develop our “crawl, walk, race” strategies, initially introduced in June.
Following input from athletes, coaches, committee volunteers, and staff, the USA Swimming Board of Directors approved the following event sanctions for August 2020:
- LSCs will be limited to the sanctioning of meets comprised only of athletes and clubs registered within the LSC.*
- There will be no restrictions on the use of times
(*A club, geographically isolated within their LSC, may be granted the opportunity to compete in an adjacent LSC with permission from both the club’s LSC and the adjacent LSC.)
More than anything, it is important to remember that all training and competition must conform to local, state, and federal public health guidelines.
Should you have any questions regarding meet sanctioning and competition, please contact Joel Shinofield at jshinofield@usaswimming.org.
