Hingham Swimming and Diving
UPDATE ON MEETS:
Please see attached meet schedule. All meets listed will be held virtually. This means we will not actually physically race our opponents in person at the same pool. Meets will be held similar to an intrasquad meet where you will compete in person with your own teammates. The opposing team will simultaneously be swimming at a different location. Times/places and scores will all be calculated after each team completes their meet to determine the winning team.
All meets this year will be held at the Connell pool in Weymouth (will replace practice).
We separated out the girls and the boys into two different days in an effort to get as many of you the ability to race while adhering to Connell Pool capacity guidelines on deck and our pool time. Before each meet we will determine attendance and will be splitting the meet up into different sections to follow capacity guidelines.
Parents -Unfortunately, there are no spectators this year as we have a strict guideline of 40 max capacity limit on deck, which includes all swimmers, coaches, officials and lifeguards. However, we may need some volunteers for timers/score keepers for these meets which would give a few of you the ability to attend the meet! Please standby as I need to determine the swimmers attendance for these meets first to adhere to these guidelines. I will have an email out by Tuesday letting you know how many volunteers we will need. We are also looking into possible options to live stream the meet and we will keep you updated.
Next Virtual Meet:
HANOVER - FEBRUARY 4
@ Connell Pool
Warm up @5:05
Meet start @5:25
As of right now BOTH boys and girls will swim
The Virtual Meets will be steamed and saved on the teams YouTube channel.

COVID
This year will be VERY different, but we promise to have fun and stay safe doing so! There are many guidelines we have put in place that will be adjustment for all. Fortunately, swimming has been designated a “lower risk” sport subject to less modifications compared to contact sports. Most importantly, we will be able to compete safely!
Please see the below information. Keep in mind this is a very fluid situation and this information may change as we move through the season but I will keep you posted on any updates.
Face Masks are to be worn on deck until you enter the pool for practice or until you step on the diving board/blocks for meets.
Temperature checks will be done before all practices, drylands and meets. If a student-athlete or a coaching staff member has a temperature of 100 degrees or above, they should not attend practices or meets. Likewise if they have any other symptoms of COVID-19 infection (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html), they should not attend practices or games. Student-athletes and coaches who have symptoms of COVID-19 infection should test and isolate in accordance with DPH guidance.
Also attached are the additional Rules, Modifications and guidelines from the MIAA.
