No Schedule
Update!! Oct 25th 2020
Hi Gang, this week we are fixing the heater at Reynolds
cleaning and putting signage up to prepare to open soon!!
Stay tuned for update!! We will probably have 2 or 3
mid day practices Mon thru Fri. 2 late night practices
and 2 or 3 practices on the weekend. We will only have 2 people per lane starting
at each end. You must be a current member of ORM No
drop ins to start. I will post times then you can text me
to get a spot. I will text you back to confirm. Once you
start back your dues will activate again. My cell
503-679-4601. I still want to do a Mt Hood email push
in the coming weeks. There will be no showers no equipment.
Only one person in the bathroom at a time you must wear a mask until you enter water and maintain
social distancing at all times. My goal is to get all swimmers
who want to activate 3 practices a week once you have three
then a spot will open for someone else:)
Bit of a breakthrough today Oregon Health Authority
approved 1.5 phase for pools today so hopefully it will
be only a couple of weeks before teams can get back in
with restrictions!! This was done by a few swim coaches
pestering the Governors office for 2 months straight!!
Stay tuned!!!
Meanwhile keep up the Open Water swimming if you can if no algae also
you can rent a lane at Chahalem pool and possibly LaCamas
and Hood River if you are out that way stay tuned in stay
healthy and stay safe:)
My Guess with Multnomah County not up to speed yet. We will be able to get back to Mt Hood around the middle of Sept we should the whole pool on weekends and half on the weekdays and nights. Most likely how it will work is we have two swimmers per lane short course. I will add workouts on weekdays from 11:45am to everyday if I can and one more night practice to alleviate crowding.
When we start back only ORM paying members will be allowed to swim for the first month - no drop ins so we don't max out swimmers - 40 on weekends and 20 on weekdays.
We will do texts to me to solidify your spot for practice.
Once we get going I think it will loosen up pretty fast.
Hang in there Gang it's almost over!
