2020-2021 Season & COVID19 Update

The announcement from the Province that schools will resume in September implies that students will start mingling again at their schools increasing the risk of COVID infection, therefore breaking their family bubbles and the conditions provided by Swimming Canada and Swim Ontario in their Return to Swimming documents to prepare for a safe return to operations. In addition, social distancing rules still in place drastically reduces the number of swimmers that can be accommodated per practice, and probably the availability of pool time from the Town. It is also not clear at this time what is the status of insurability for all the swimmers provided by Swim Ontario, or what is Swim Ontario’s position regarding starting practices.

Considering all these factors, and in the spirit of protecting our swimmers and coaches health first, the Board of Directors decided not to start the 2020-2021 season in September or October, with the goal of observing how the COVID situation evolves, and what new guidelines are provided by the Town, the Province, Swim Ontario and Swimming Canada. We will be providing further communications to keep you updated on our progress.

Please stay safe and follow our health authorities recommendations. We thank you for your understanding and collaboration through this extraordinary time.

  • Why We’re Not Starting Up in September August 3, 2020
    As the title says, my team isn’t returning to swimming in September. Or October. In fact, we’re going to monitor the pandemic infection rates for a while to figure out when it will actually be safe, however long that takes. And the key to this decision is that Ontario had declared that kids will be… […]
