The Directors of the Guernsey Swimming Club, have decided that the Island Championships will go ahead this weekend, and that we will be following the Government Guidelines, in conjunction with those of Swim England, and although COVID numbers have increased, we feel that with all swimmers and officials having to have a negative Lateral Flow test before the start of each session and the two clubs sitting in separate well ventilated areas, we believe the risk is relatively low and no greater than attending school or training sessions.
However, we fully understand that some swimmers will have to withdraw for various reasons and we do not consider that they are letting anyone down and they will be entitled to a full refunds on their entry fees.
With all the hard work that has been put in to training and coaching, we hope that the swimmers still manage to achieve their goals over the weekend.
