“We will honor anything for future races,” Morrison said. “Anybody who pre-ordered anything just stay tuned for more information.”

Summer 2021 races have been tentatively set for July and September.

“We don’t have specific dates to announce yet, but we have already made some pretty firm commitments,” Morrison said. “There are so many events on the Peninsula that you have to kind of lock down your summer plans.”

The other sprint boat track in the state, Webb’s Slough in Whitman County, has pushed its race day back to Sept. 26.

Swim lesson survey

PORT ANGELES — William Shore Memorial Pool is asking parents and guardians to fill out a short survey about swim lessons during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 10-question survey asks if parents/guardians feel comfortable with their children taking swim lessons during the pandemic, if they feel physical distancing can be achieved and asks whether family lessons or private lessons are an option the pool should pursue.
