• We continue to be limited to the number of spectators on the deck. We will update you regarding this but please note that it will most likely be only 1 possibly 2 parents on the deck to watch their swimmer virtual time trial race and then they are required to exit the deck immediately following each race to allow other parents to watch their swimmers.  The club courtyard will be set up with a bar and the grill at the turn. Swimmers will be set up on the grass area under the tents and will also have to leave the deck immediately following their race.  
• As COVID-19 restrictions lift, the CCSAKC will err on the side of caution. Numbers will be reassessed after each meet and as the season progresses.  We anticipate different guidelines for the upcoming dual meets. 

NEXT:

Your child MUST BE signed up to swim or dive at a meet. If they do not sign up, they will NOT be allowed to swim and/or dive at the meet. It is important to declare your swimmer and/or diver whether your child is attending or not. You must declare your intent by Saturday at midnight for the dive or swim meet occurring the next week.

In the past, we typically had set volunteer requirements as the entire season was a preset schedule. The COVID - 19 pandemic has made this swim and dive season so up in the air due to our schedules and volunteer needs constantly changing.  Therefore, we are not specifying set volunteer requirements at this time, but we appeal and appreciate as much help as possible. It is crazy to note that we have already had over 100 volunteer slots FILLED due to the COVID safety requirements these past 2 weeks and we will have over 100 volunteer opportunities next week!  WE SIMPLY CANNOT RUN THIS PROGRAM WITHOUT YOU our parent VOLUNTEERS!
