Thanks! That is great news. I’d love to do the 5:55-6:45 am workout.
I’ll wait for sign up details. I need to sign up with USMS online.

Swim pals,
Great news!
Starting Monday, Sept 28, our pool is open for Masters swimming at
Mercerwood Shore Club.
Read on for details, because we are rejiggering things to be covid-safe.
First, a BIG THANK YOU to Alex Goldstein, our group’s Prez, who worked
with MSC (thanks Paul!) and hammered out the labyrinthian logistics to see
that everyone got plenty of swim opportunities, while keeping things
financially feasible.
REDWOODS SWIMMING THIS FALL:
We have the go ahead to restart the Mercer Island Redwoods Master Swim
team workouts at the Mercer Island Shore Club. A few things will be
different.
There will be an *online reservation system*--details will follow soon.
• There will be *two 50-minute sessions* (5:00 - 5:50am & 5:55 - 6:45am)
• *2 swimmers per lane*, one at each end of the pool for a maximum of 12
per workout
• All participants must bring their own equipment (kickboards, pull buoys,
hand paddles, etc.), no pool supplied swim toys
Arrival/Departure
• Wear a face mask
• There will be no access to the clubhouse, including locker rooms. A
bathroom is available but not for changing.
• Access and exit to pool will be through the double doors to the south
parking lot
• I am told an outdoor shower for rinsing off will be available on the
pool deck located next to the drinking fountain
• Do not congregate before or after with your teammates and remain 6-feet
apart.
• Do not attend if you feel sick, or if you have been exposed to anyone
who is known to have COVID-19
• *Only registered MIR swimmers who have signed the Commitment to MSC
Reopening Policies and Assumption of Risk are allowed to use the pool
(attached)--you must bring this signed document the first time you come to
swim!*
