Masks at LC Nationals in October 2021

I just read the information on this page regarding masking:

https://www.usms.org/events/national-championships/pool-national-championships/2021-pool-national-championships/2021-long-course-national-championship/2021-long-course-nationals-covid-19-protocols

Will they be giving out masks at the event so you can put one on after the race? I was a little surprised that vaccinations will not be required as it is an indoor event. Any further information regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

  • It should be a personal decision. I am not anti vaccination however everyone has a personal health history. Not everyone is a candidate for vaccination. I personally know 10 people who have suffered consequences post vaccination. They continue to be affected every day by this. The vaccine has been helpful to the majority of individuals but not all. I applaud USMS for leaving the decision to be vaccinated between the individual and their Dr.
