Postive COVID-19 Case & Potential Exposure THURSDAY 10/7 5:30-7PM

Nick Chevalier
WEST Community,
 
We regret to inform everyone that we recently had a positive Covid case in our Tues / Thurs Embark 2 group. The swimmer last attended practice Thursday 10/7, became symptomatic Friday 10/8 and received a positive Covid test result today, Saturday 10/9. We will be taking the following immediate action:
 
  1. Embark 2 swimmers in the Tues / Thurs group will not have in-person practice and should isolate until Tues 10/19. These swimmers have potential for a direct exposure and we encourage everyone to get tested. Please notify us immediately if anyone else tests positive so we can take appropriate further action.
 
  1. All adjacent groups that have a secondary potential for exposure will not have in-person practice until Wed 10/13. This gives 7 days for anyone else to develop symptoms - if you develop symptoms, you must get tested and notify us so we can take further appropriate action. 
 
  1. Groups and classes that DO NOT run Tues / Thurs are unaffected.
 
Below is a breakdown of how each group is impacted:
 
Lap Swim: unaffected
 
Water Aerobics: unaffected
 
Lessons: Mon/Wed unaffected, Tues/Thurs 5:30, 6:00, 6:30pm classes CANCELLED until 10/14. Tues / Thurs 4:00, 4:30 & 5:00 classes unaffected.

Our Embark Coach obtained a negative Covid test this evening. At this point in time, we feel this is a contained case. We will be following up with the Health Department and will notify everyone and take further action if the situation changes. 
 
More specific information will be sent to each group individually. Swim team groups will hold virtual dryland and/or group meetings. Impacted Swim Lessons classes will be credited. SwimFit and Pre-Comp will follow our cancel & credit policy for cancelled classes beyond 2 per month. 
 
As a reminder, wear your masks and socially distance whenever possible. If you experience ANY Covid-19 symptoms, you MUST stay away from the facility until 72 hours after symptoms have concluded or obtain a negative Covid test before returning.
 
We appreciate your continued cooperation and support.
