Question:  What is the likelihood there will be a 2021 summer swim team season?

Answer:  The CCCC Swim Team Board and RMAL are planning for a swim team season.  COVID restrictions continue to dictate restrictions, however the signs are pointing in a very positive direction.

 

Question:  When is the 2021 summer season expected to start?

Answer:  While there are still many unknowns, RMAL is scheduling the 2021 season similar to 2019.  Practices are scheduled to tentatively start the day after Memorial Day which is June 1, 2021.

 

Question: What will 2021 swim team practices look like?

Answer:  While the CCCC Board is working to hopefully reinstate the team practice schedule and structure similar to 2019 season, COVID restrictions set forth by Governor Northam and the CC HOA Board will dictate available options.  More to come...stay tuned!

Question:  Will families be required to sign up for reservations related to practice times?

Answer:  The preference of the CCCC Board would be to return to an open practice schedule similar to 2019.  While things are moving in that direction, it is still too early to determine the outcome.  More details will become available closer to when the season starts.

Question:  Will swim meets be held in person or virtual?

Answer:  RMAL has scheduled for both scenarios, however the signs are more heavily weighted on in person meets.

   

Question:  If meets are in person, how will those look?

Answer:  RMAL is working on guidelines for in person meets to ensure a safe environment for swimmers, coaches and volunteers.  Spectators will most likely be limited due to proper distancing on the pool deck.  COVID restrictions set forth by Governor Northam, RMAL, Charter Colony HOA Board, and CCCC Swim Team Board will weigh heavily on allowable capacity at meets.  Depending on restrictions, there may be opportunities to flow a limited number of spectators through the pool deck area to watch their swimmers' event.  Keep in mind, details are very fluid and many are yet to be determined.

Question:   How many meets are expected to be on the schedule?

Answer:   The RMAL preliminary in person and virtual meet schedules both reflect 5 meets, with the first meet scheduled for the week of June 14, 2021.  The schedule will be posted on the team website when it is finalized.

 

Question:  Will there be some sort of Champs this year?

Answer:   RMAL is currently planning a full day in person Champs event mid July.  The date will be posted on the team website when it has been finalized.

 

Question:  When will registrations for the 2021 season begin?

Answer:   The vacant Parent Representative position needs to be filled before registrations will be opened. Registrations are tentatively scheduled to open April 15, 2021, however could possibly be delayed if the position has not been filled.
