Tossed Into Turmoil: <\/span>
\nHow COVID-19 Has Impacted The Sport Of Swimming Across The Globe<\/span><\/h1>\n
By Dan D’Addona<\/span><\/p>\n
The spread of coronavirus disease 2019 <\/strong>
\n(COVID-19) has had a far-reaching impact not only on everyday life, but also on the sport of swimming across the globe.<\/strong><\/p>\n
One by one, dreams were heartbreakingly dashed. For swimmers, it started with the NCAA Championships as college seniors saw their careers suddenly finished with an abrupt ending that left no conclusion.<\/p>\n
But it also affected the dreams of every other athlete as nearly all sports throughout the world were postponed or canceled because of COVID-19 until even the Olympics were put on hold.<\/p>\n
It was a devastating decision that also provided much relief to athletes who have not been able to train because of the coronavirus conditions. Pools and gyms around the world were closed for weeks\u2014and many are still closed.<\/p>\n
The International Olympic Committee rescheduled the Games for July 23-Aug. 8, 2021, citing the following considerations in making its decision:<\/p>\n
\n
To protect the health of the athletes and everyone involved;<\/li>\n
To support the containment of the COVID-19 virus;<\/li>\n
To safeguard the interests of the athletes and of Olympic sport;<\/li>\n
To keep in mind the global international sports calendar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
There was also confirmation that athletes who had already qualified for Tokyo 2020 would retain their spots while quota places would be unaffected, with the capital of Japan remaining as host of the XXXII Olympiad.<\/p>\n
The first major blow to swimming came on March 12 when the NCAA announced the cancellation of this year\u2019s NCAA Championships.<\/p>\n
For Division I, numerous questions were left unanswered:<\/p>\n
\n
Would Stanford\u2019s women have been able to shake the underdog role and earn a four-peat? <\/em><\/li>\n
How exciting would the Cal-Texas men\u2019s showdown have been? <\/em><\/li>\n
How would seniors such as Abbey Weitzeil, Louise Hansson, Beata Nelson, Felix Aubock and Maxime Rooney finish their impressive careers?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Soon after NCAAs were canceled, discussion arose as to whether or not the Olympics might be canceled…or at the very least, postponed.
\nWhen the college season ended, at least the elite college swimmers had the hope of training for their country\u2019s respective Olympic Trials. But 12 days after they heard the news about NCAAs, it became official on March 24: the Tokyo 2020 Olympics had been postponed.
\nThat announcement changed everything.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs an athlete who put her life \u2018on hold\u2019 to chase (the Olympic) dream, I feel slightly defeated. Regardless, I do not feel as though I can complain because I have my health, my family is healthy…and right now, that is the most important thing in my life. This has shaken up the world for everyone, and I just hope we can get it under control.\u201d \u2014Amy Bilquist<\/p>\n
