Swim Team COVID Survey

We anticipate that at some point the Governor will lift restrictions on swimming pools. We want to understand how our swim team families are feeling about sending their kids back to practice so we can plan accordingly.

Please take a minute to share your feedback to help guide our planning.

Question Title

* 1. When the Governor allows pools to reopen, under what conditions would you allow your child to return to swim team practice?

I won’t allow my child to return to swim team practices until significant progress is achieved in a vaccine, proven treatments are identified, or proof that antibodies confer immunity.

If I feel confident appropriate safety precautions are in place I will consider allowing my child to return to team practice.

I’ll let my child return to the pool as soon as you open regardless of the safety precautions put in place.

Question Title

* 2. We are exploring a range of precautionary steps to implement if we re-open swim team practice. Please share which precautions you think are important for us to implement.

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* 3. It is very likely that if we reopen, most swimmers may experience 50% or more reduction in practice time. We will try to make up some of the time with dry land training outdoors. Will this prevent your swimmer from returning?

Yes

Question Title

* 4. Sanctioned swim meets may be limited or nonexistent for the first few months. We will follow guidelines from Illinois Swimming and USA Swimming. We may be limited to in-house, smaller competitions. Will this prevent your swimmer from returning?
