Summer Leagues Cancel in Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee; On Hold in Delaware

Dick Beaver Bonnie Whildin maybe, just maybe there are some very smart people who are making sound decisions for the herd not just for those that want to be guinea pigs for this virus. But ya, that’s just my opinion ??‍♀️ based off numerous discussions with scientists and front line docs.

Carol-Tony Brewer the scientists who said 2.5 million will die in the USA?… and then no masks, wear masks?… I think some good old common sense is needed here. Again, let us be the “ guinea pigs” as you call us but why stop us from doing because you don’t want it? This is America with its freedoms or so we thought.

Bonnie Whildin how is this holding you back? You can’t go swim laps every morning? Yes, it has been frustrating with inconsistent information but no where EVER did I read or hear that 2.5 million in America would die. But even if it was said, let’s be happy that it hasn’t reached that point because hmmmm maybe we’ve all been doing the right things (like staying home) to keep the numbers low. Also, consider that this virus is still live and spreading and those death numbers could be a reality if caution isn’t taken. If you need to swim maybe you can find open water somewhere? Put your own pool in ??‍♀️ I trust that all these swim clubs are still wanting to make money but are choosing to stay safe.

Bonnie Whildin I’m not sure that you are qualified to decide if I have fear, and if so, what about. My daughter is a college level swimmer. It hits home big for us if they can’t swim this summer. I’m just realistic because I educate myself to the real threat, how universities and local clubs are handling the situation. I support each pool/club for their decision and I don’t post heated hateful comments towards the swim community.

Bonnie Whildin how do you know what affected me?You don’t.So let’s open the floodgates and throw all caution to the wind.Nothing is going to be normal or at capacity and the people who are left out because of it will complain again.In my state, gyms opened except not really,so many restrictions and limitations,indicating caution and uncertainty.

Bonnie Whildin which misses the meaning of freedom … of life guards coaches and others say ‘we’d rather be safe’ which qualified people will run the facilities? Freedom is for all not the few

Craig Lord no the health departments made these calls not the swim coaches and clubs. Check.

Boy I would like to meet them because I know MANY coaches who want the pools open with teams competing. Oh well… you win.. no swimming for the kids.
