Karnataka Swimming Association (KSA) officials, Gopal B Hosur aur Secretary M Satish Kumar ke dwara Wednesday ko CM BS Yediyurappa se mulakat ki aur government se request karte huye ek memorandum submit kiya aur usme competitive swimmers ko pool mei return aane ke liye allow karne ko kaha.
Aur bhi activities ki tarah, swimmimg pools ko band huye ek month se jyada hone wala hai. KSA ne clear kiya ki ye request sirf competitive swimming ke liye hai aur na ki recreational swimming ke liye. Unhone apne 46 affiliated units aur swimmers ke liye permission le li hai jo ki apne country ya phir state ko represent karte hai.
TOI se baat karte huye Satish ne kaha, “Aise circumstances mein athletes ke liye apna training routine replicate karna tough hota hai. Humne government ke paas approach karne ko isliye decide kiya kyu ki Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),ek health institute hai jo ki Internationally recognized hai Communicable Diseases ne report kiya hai ki COVID-19 swimmers ko jo ki water mei hote hai unhe chlorine level 1.5ppm hone ki wajah se affect nahi karta hai. Humne guidelines bhi draft ki hai aur ye ensure kiya hai ki hygiene aur social distancing maintain rahe.”
Lockdown phases mei eased hone ki wajah se, KSA hopeful ki government ise go-ahead de degi.
