Austin just canceled SXSW. Is it safe to think Nationals will go on as planned. Is it safe to do so. I really want to go to Nationals, but I am 71 and concerned.
USMS Nationals is a wonderful experience for all that can make the voyage of getting there and have a safe event, but it would be a terrible experience if we would lose one of a fellow friends in our community of swimmers because of a lack of complete understanding of what this virus means. Knowing many friends in this sport for more than 50 years and now getting up there myself that thought of invincibility with my health is always on my mind. Respecting the knowledge of specialists and health professionals that study these things all the time-We should all stop and listen to them. Remember this isn’t just about the individual, but the community that one lives in and what they can bring back to the ones that are most vulnerable with underlining health conditions. Boy would that suck to find out I gave it to someone else! 2020 YMCA Short Course Nationals for 3/30-4/3 in Greensboro was canceled for youths- did they do the right thing? JO Nationals in Santa Clara Co. was canceled, so did they do the right thing? It’s a bigger picture than just you and me. I’ve been training hard this year myself-but to me it’s not a big thing to wait until this thing goes away and making it safe for everyone again! Just my thoughts-have a great swim:)
