Summer 2020 Update

Good afternoon, Torpedo family.

I come to you today with the unfortunate news that we will be canceling our planned season for 2020. We are hoping to creatively do something with our swimmers in July, but there is still much uncertainty with regards to what we as a facility will be allowed to do.

Collectively the TSL teams decided that it was not possible to hold a swim meet in the sense that we all know and love while maintaining social distancing, not to mention stay under the maximum number of people allowed at outdoor gatherings currently allowed by the state. In addition, at least two of our five teams will not have pools available until July, if at all.

Teams decided we would, if possible, try to do something as individual teams once we are able to do so. At this point, we don't have any definitive plans for what we will be doing, but please feel free to share ideas with me. 

We love seeing our swimmers improve and grow, having fun competition, and the overall family feel of VTST, and I want to assure you all this decision was not taken or made lightly.We hope we will get to see you all in July.
