Can 1on1 (private) water polo lessons be taught while maintaining social distancing protocols.

Answer 1

The answer is YES! I can conduct these training sessions while wearing a mask and face shield, similar to what medical professionals are currently using in hospitals. Instruction is conducted with the athlete in water, and coach on deck for a majority of the session. When demonstrating any skills or drills in water, 6ft social distance is maintained. Furthermore, per CDC guidelines; the Covid-19 virus is not transferable in properly treated swimming pools.
