*Updated face mask policy*

As many of our athletes begin in-person school, we want to remind and update everyone on Swim San Diego's mask policy.

This policy is based on the university's requirement for face masks along with SSD staying proactive in providing a safe environment for all of our members.

For our swimmers and parents at all Natatorium practices, face masks must be worn at all times inside the facility.  Swimmers need to have their masks on up until we enter the pool and back on when we exit the pool.  For parents watching from inside the pool, you must have a face mask on.  For parents watching from outside of the pool you are not required to have a face mask on, but if you enter the pool you do need to have a mask on.  This is per university requirement.

For our swimmers and parents at the Canyonview Aquatic Facility, you must have a face mask on when you enter the building.  This does include the lockerrooms.  On the pool deck, masks are not required, but encouraged.  

All members of the coaching staff have been fully vaccinated and may coach maskless while at Canyonview Aquatic Facility, but do need to have a mask on while coaching at the Natatorium.

We appreciate everyone following these guidelines to protect our swimmers, especially those that have not been vaccinated.
