Practices Cancelled Until Further Notice

November 25, 2020 by Allison Prime Leave a Comment

Hello Swimmers,

Based on yesterday’s announcement of restrictions regarding COVID-19, practices are cancelled until further notice. Alberta’s new guidelines have restrictions in place until December 18. We will wait to hear Swim Alberta’s response to these new guidelines and any updates from the Chief Medical Officer to determine when we will be back in the pool. Please check your email for more information regarding fees.

Regarding dryland training, you can continue using the zoom link (provided through email) to meet informally. We may provide opportunities for more formal dryland practices led by coaches (on zoom), but we want to make sure there is interest from the membership. We will be sending out a short survey to determine how to move forward with this.

We know that swimming with CMSC is an important community for so many of us – physically, mentally, and socially. We will continue to keep you updated as more information becomes available and executive members are available for questions and comments.

Thanks,
CMSC Executive

Practices Cancelled Until November 27

Hello Swimmers,

After meeting as an executive and hearing from Repsol and Swim Alberta, we have decided to cancel practices until November 27. The first day back in the pool will be Saturday, November 28. There was an option to swim with one person per lane, however we decided that we would rather not spend the money on pool time when there would not be enough spaces for everyone to get one swim in two weeks.

If you are swimming on your own, Coach Chad has offered to provide workouts. You can email him at headcoach@cmsc.ab.ca. The coaches are also putting together some dryland workouts and you will hear more about that in the coming days.

December Practice Booking is now live and we will proceed to sign up as usual until we hear anything different from Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer.

As always, please email us if you have any questions or concerns.

The Alberta Government has implemented temporary increased measures to address rising cases of COVID-19. Part of these measures include stopping team sports and group fitness activities.

What does this mean for us?

Tomorrow early bird and mid morning practices are CANCELLED.
We will post again tomorrow as soon as we have more information about the next two weeks
