COVID-19 and Return to Swim Information
A message from NYAC Operations Team:
When we walked out of our offices on March 13, 2020, we could not have imagined all that would happen in the following months. In fact, it was with ease that the pools closed, and for the first week or two, we appreciated not having to carpool and having the opportunity to dine with the whole family rather than running off to practice. Fast-forward to June, and we are all missing our time at the pool, and the joy that swimming brings. However, now that Toronto has, entered Stage 2 and talking about Stage 3, NYAC is seizing this opportunity to stay in touch with our members by running a virtual summer connection program and a TPASC return to swim (not train) program, so that we can prepare for whatever the 2020/21 season brings. As we move through this return to swim world, we appreciate your patience and feedback as we learn to navigate this new “normal” with our membership.
