High School Swimming Taking a Virtual Turn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around this time, it would have been a normal swim and dive season for some high school teams. With the COVID-19<\/a> pandemic still at large in the United States, high school swim season and meets, though, are going to look very different. In many cases, swim meets are going from in-person to virtual, just like classrooms. Although there have been virtual meets in the past, that was before the pandemic. Now virtual swim meets are looking to become the norm.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an organization, NISCA understands the need for virtual swimming and diving meets during this time of pandemic. It is unlikely that swimming, diving and water polo teams will be able to fully compete in the manner to which we are accustomed during the 2020-2021 school year,\u201d said the National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n
