Annapolis, MD - Space limitations at the Arundel Olympic Swim Center in Annapolis will prevent spectators from watching this week’s Anne Arundel County swimming championships, but families and friends of student-athletes will be able to see all the action on ACCPS’ YouTube channel.
The Anne Arundel County Office of Athletics has scheduled meets throughout the year in a way in which spectators could attend. With 13 teams competing at Friday’s meet, however, all available space is needed to accommodate swimmers. This was a collaborative decision made by AACPS and the Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks.
“This was a difficult decision to arrive at, but it is the most prudent and most safe one for our student-athletes and it still provides families with a way to see the events,” AACPS Coordinator of Athletics Clayton Culp said. “Our county’s swim centers have been great partners throughout the season and we worked hard to be able to continue to hold this event, space swimmers as best as we can, and still provide families with a way to see it.
The first event at Friday’s meet is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. Information regarding the upcoming region and state swim meets will be made available to all participating schools prior to those events.
