Hello everyone, Who's looking forward to swimming again? I certainly am. Practices begin October 12. The full schedule can be found on our website under the Schedules Tab. Regarding vaccination passports. The club has been informed by the city of the following vaccination requirements while visiting the Aquatic Center for sport. Participants in Swim School, D3, D2C, D2AB, D1, Fit/Dev, Elite and Youth/Nat programs do not require proof of vaccinations. Participants in the Masters program MUST show proof of vaccinations, to the coaching staff, prior to their first practice. The city will be issuing cards again this season for all swimmers to use when entering the building. All swimmers must wear a mask throughout the facility. Except when they are about to enter the water. Spectators Do not have to show a vaccine passport. But do have to wear a mask throughout the facility. The city has stated that spectators can only sit in the viewing area (tables and seats). Sitting on bleachers are off limits to spectators. In the eventuality that there are too many spectators, the city will advise the club on different options. However, ViaSport, Swimming Canada and Swim BC have recommended there should be no spectators allowed on deck. The club is providing this information so that parents can make their own decisions, as to whether or not to stay and watch practices. If you have any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Jason at registrar@pgbsc.org |
