SWIM TEAM
REPORT
“DEVELOPING CHAMPION ATHLETES AND CITIZENS THROUGH COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IN SWIMMING”
MOR PRACTICES RESUME WITH LOTS OF SMILES
MOR resumed practices cautiously beginning on May 10th for Sr. swimmers first and then 12-Unders a week later, for those who were ready to swim again. These practices resumed with strict protocols to keep all swimmers and staff healthy. The coaching staff has been blown away by the level of maturity and self-discipline the swimmers have shown which has allowed us to open up more groups. The parents have been a huge help in doing the screenings as well as temperature checks. This has allowed the coaches to make sure the pools are properly set up for practices. MOR purchased 8 infrared thermometers to check staff and swimmers each day. The swimmers came in with smiles on (hidden by masks!) and were clearly eager to get back in the water. Our staff has worked hard to make the best use of available pool space. Each week has been different and the coming weeks will also require flexibility until all of our facilities are open. We are thankful for the partnerships we have with local pool facilities that have allowed us to return to some level of normal. Coaches have been focusing on technique and turns and skill development during the first month. Thanks to all our swimmers and parents for following the safety protocols and for coming back enthusiastic and ready to go. You all are the best part of MOR!
