April Update / Billing / COVID - 19

We hope all of our SwimAtlanta families are staying safe and healthy. At this time, it looks like swim team programming will not be able to start back in the water until May 1st.  We appreciate the support of all our families through this unique and difficult time! Many of our families have offered to continue with regular payments, however for the month of April, we are discounting tuition for all groups by 70% for all active members of the team. This will greatly help SwimAtlanta pay coaching staff and maintain the facilities that we own and rent.

We truly value the SwimAtlanta family. Our number one goal is the safety of our swimmers, their families, and our staff during these unprecedented times. Together, we hope to be stronger than ever, once we return to our normal schedules.




March 20th SwimAtlanta COVID-19 Update

We hope everyone is safe at home and able to enjoy time with family during these uncertain times. Your coaching staff is eager to have the swimmers back at the pool but must ensure a safe timeline for everyone’s return.  SwimAtlanta will remain closed through March, but our hope is to resume in-water programming in a moderated schedule beginning the Monday after your local public-school system’s spring break.  While we are away from the facilities, we have been cleaning and disinfecting all areas as well as preparing our staff for upgraded sanitizing procedures once practice resumes.

The coaching staff is excited to see such great athlete engagement on SwimAtlanta Social Media during this time! Keep it up! (Please note that you may access some of the resources on SwimAtlanta’s social media accounts by clicking on the links at the bottom of this email without having your own social media account.) Coaches will be sending dry-land specific workouts that can be completed at home to help athletes stay in shape and motivated to get back in the pool.  Please be sure to check your email and social media for at-home workouts as well as other swimming-specific information.

Special Note from Georgia Tech & the Meet Host (SCAT):

Dear Age Group Sectional Participants, 

Georgia Tech is currently monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. We are following all updates and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) located in Atlanta.  As of now, WE WILL BE HAVING THE SWIM MEET AS PLANNED.

According to information provided by the CDC, the coronavirus's presence is currently very limited, with just 647 cases reported in the United States as of March 10, 2020. Overall immediate health risk from coronavirus remains low. However, with many new cases being reported daily worldwide, the risk for a pandemic is still elevated. 

In response, we ask that all participants who have a fever, symptoms of a respiratory infection, or have been exposed to a person with coronavirus, flu, or any other communicable disease not attend Age Group Sectionals.

Georgia Tech and Age Group Sectionals will follow all CDC recommendations.  If you suspect that you may have an infectious disease, we recommend you seek treatment at your primary care physician's office or your local hospital's emergency department. 

Beyond that, please keep in mind that the best way to prevent the spread of infectious disease is through overall cleanliness and diligent hand washing. 

We are actively monitoring the current situation as it evolves and will provide more updates as is necessary.   

For immediate updates, we recommend viewing the CDC website. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

SCAT SWIM TEAM

SwimAtlanta will communicate all updates ASAP by website, email, twitter, & instagram.
