Area swim teams adjusting to being back in the pool under new guidelines
After about two months out of the pool, a 5 a.m. wake up call is nothing for the CCA Marlins. “Swimmers are like getting fish out of the water, its just not possible,†head coach Amina Serir said.
The year-round swim club is one of the first teams to get back in the water since the Coronavirus pandemic.
“Swimming just makes me happy, to get back in for an hour or fifty minutes at four in the morning, it’s great,†Lord Botetourt senior Miranda Kirtley said.
However, summer swimming through the Roanoke Valley Aquatic Association is a different story.
“I know RVAA as a league decided back in May that we were not going to host a formal swim season,†RVAA board member Shannon Hoopes said.
Instead, they left it up to their member pools to decide if they wanted to have an independent season.

Just how sold the 35-year-old Olympian is on the SPIRE Academy’s Swimming program is evident in his most recent video, in which he is seen touring the Academy’s swim complex. SPIRE Academy features a 10-lane, 50-meter Olympic size pool with 2 movable bulkheads, a 25-yard recreation pool, 4 therapeutic pools to support training and rehab activities, full locker room facilities, and a world-class SPIRE Performance Training Center.
“I’ve been swimming since I was 5 years old, so I’ve seen just about everything in terms of training programs and facilities,†said Lochte. “But SPIRE is special in so many ways. From an athlete development and training perspective, we have the potential to build something here that is totally unique. I’m excited to be a part of that process, and I look forward to helping SPIRE make a major impact on the sport of swimming– both in and out of the pool.â€
