STAS COVID-19 Plan - Launceston
Although there remains considerable uncertainty in relation to restrictions that will apply over the coming weeks/months, we are hopeful that we will be able to run all of the meets currently listed in our calendar from October onwards. At this stage it is unlikely that the 2020 Short Course Championships or SC Regionals will go ahead, given that it will still be some time before all of our swimmers are able to resume regular training. However, we are currently looking at several different options for a small number of meets prior to October, and we are speaking to the pool management teams in Launceston and Hobart to see what might be possible in this space. These meets are likely to comprise a different format and numbers are likely to be restricted, but our aim is to ease back into the competition calendar with some informal, fun meets which are focused less on times and more on getting back into racing.
