Call to action…

Further to the info we circulated yesterday here are some clear cut, proactive measure we can ALL take to keep ourselves safe but, more importantly; help stop the community spread.

Note that we do not need to be told to do this by the government or our employers, we can act now. The following guidelines will be the ones used to make decisions around your individual coaching and programming and JET Coaching’s group training sessions.

– Work from home if you can 💻
– Prioritize sleep, healthy eating, hydration and exercise/training 💪
– Avoid crowded places including cafes etc (order take away) 👉
– We are now seeing pools and community spaces being closed. If you ‘must’ swim at a pool, choose an outdoor pool and shower/get changed at home 🏠
– Remember fresh air and sunshine are good for you… lean into this ☀️
– We can swim, bike, run and strength train outside… embrace and enjoy it! 🌲
– Cough and sneeze away from people into tissue/elbow 😷
– Don’t shake hands 👋
– Don’t touch your face 🙅
– Wash/Sanitize your hands regularly hand 🧼
– Consider taking a small dose of some immune boosting supplements such as Vit C if you can 💊
– If you, or someone you have been in contact with, has been overseas in the last month then self quarantine 🏠
– Avoid travel in the meantime if at all possible ✈️
– Ensure the elderly or otherwise vulnerable in your life have all they need 🤗

There is a quote circling stating that our ancestors had to go to war, we are being asked to stay home and wash our hands… gives a little context! Embrace and adapt to this time and remember that IT WILL PASS and we will be back to normal very soon!

For now:

– No Swim Squad at AVLC until further notice; those types of leisure centres are high risk for spreading viruses 🙅‍♂️
– Some outdoor group training options will be made available where appropriate including; OW swims, cycling and running 🚀
– I will speak to each Coached athlete INDIVIDUALLY about applying best practice and making changes to programming 📅

Hopefully you all get enough toilet paper to see you through… ✌️
