UPDATED 2021 SEASON
READ BEFORE YOU REGISTER FOR 2021!
New information for the 2021 swim season:
Hey swim families, welcome back! We are so excited to announce CRST is getting back in the pool! Following current health guidelines from WHALe, Cinco Ranch HOA, USA Swim and local government will mean that summer swim season will look different this year.
Meets will be virtual
Teams will compete against each other virtually, in a time trials setting, at their own pools. Deck usage will be limited to 50 percent of pool capacity, which is approximately 100 people. We will ask that families sit outside the pool deck gate if there is nowhere for you to set up six feet from the swimmers area.
Families who wish to be on deck will need to be masked at all times inside the pool gate. If you prefer not to mask, please sit outside the pool gate to watch the practice.
Bathrooms are emergency use only, no water fountains will be available and no HOA pool furniture will be provided. Please plan accordingly.
We will have hand sanitizer available at every pool. Places will be marked for swimmers to stand and signage will remind everyone of safety protocols. Our coaches will need to practice social distance, therefore there will be no swimmers in the water with other age groups swimming or assisting. Also, please do not approach the coaches on deck.
CRST and our coaches are ready for a safe, fun season! Our team boards, executive board and WHALe board are working hard to get these kids back in the water and swimming again. Even with this year looking different, we feel it is very important for our families to have the option to swim! We truly appreciate your help complying with all the rules given to us to implement.
We are so excited to see you at the pool!
