Team Secrets of Success: 

If you want to get the most out of and accelerate your Sailfish swimming career, the Goals/Journal and Mindset books listed below are highly recommend as they go in depth; into the many reasons why we coach the way we do, and into the "How" to make the most of the opportunity of swimming with the Sailfish. These are not buy it and put it on the to-be-read-later stack of books. They are interactive, daily tools to learn how to improve, self-talk, communication with your coach, focus, motivation, practice, meet performance and much more. They are expensive but if you use them, they will save you a great deal of time and money in the long run that would otherwise be spent chasing your tail.

Team/COVID-19 Updates: 

CDC Guidelines Link and notes below on Quarantine, Isolation, Testing and Return

Quarantine

Quarantine if you have been in  close contact (within 6 feet of someone for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period) with someone who has COVID-19, unless you have been  fully vaccinated. People who are fully vaccinated do NOT need to quarantine after contact with someone who had COVID-19 unless they have  symptoms. However, fully vaccinated people should get tested 3-5 days after their exposure, even if they don’t have symptoms and wear a mask indoors in public for 14 days following exposure or until their test result is negative.

For Anyone Who Has Been Around a Person with COVID-19

Anyone who has had  close contact with someone with COVID-19 should stay home for 14 days after their last exposure to that person.

However, anyone who has had close contact with someone with COVID-19 and who meets the following criteria does NOT need to stay home.

  • Someone who has been  fully vaccinated and shows no symptoms of COVID-19. However, fully vaccinated people should get tested 3-5 days after their exposure, even they don’t have symptoms and wear a mask indoors in public for 14 days following exposure or until their test result is negative.

                                                      Or

  • Someone who has COVID-19 illness within the previous 3 months and
  • Has recovered and
  • Remains without COVID-19 symptoms (for example, cough, shortness of breath)

You may be able to shorten your quarantine

Your local public health authorities make the final decisions about how long quarantine should last, based on local conditions and needs. Follow the recommendations of your local public health department if you need to quarantine. Options they will consider include stopping quarantine

  • After day 10 without testing
  • After day 7 after receiving a negative test result (test must occur on day 5 or later)
