It is recommended that athletes change clothes and shower at home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake it clear that there is no penalty for missing practice and that if an athlete, or any member of their family does not feel well, they should stay home,\u201d the guidelines read.<\/p>\n<p>Social distancing should be practiced in all areas and the USA Swimming guidelines indicate how many swimmers can achieve this in different lanes with several visual aids. The visual aids are shown below for situations with different numbers of lanes and different numbers of swimmers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"430069\"
