Don’t jump on the bed



 Seems like as kids we were always told not to jump on the bed. Maybe this is why. Phillip we jumped on the bed day 1 and put a small crack in the cardboard. Well that crack has gotten much bigger.

FOOD!

Let’s face it….there is nothing more that  a swimmer loves best then food. Come join us as we eat in the Olympic Village Cafe.  First and foremost is the ever important hand sanitizer stations. You can’t enter any building or room without using hand sanitizer first.  Next stop is to drop or bags off at the baggage drop off stand as no bags are aloud into the dinning room. You guessed it more COVID safety procedures.  From here we check the dinning hall capacity screens to figure out where the least busy dinning hall floor is. And show our credentials to be let in.  Once inside we have to use hand sanitizer once again, put on gloves (there is always a backup at the gloves station as they are almost impossible to get on after using hand sanitizer) we then pick up our trays, silverware, and chopsticks .  We are now off to figure out what we are going to eat. The cafe has a bread station with breads around the world, fruit and salad station, Japanese Food (rice...

Transport

 So…how do we get from the village to the pool?  We start our journey at the Olympic village transport hub. Where they check our credentials and send us to the proper bus line.  Once on the bus we are sealed in via stickers on all the doors and windows to make sure no one in the outside had entered the bus in route. It takes us about 20 to 30 min to get to the pool. All of the roads are closed to traffic to help get us there as quickly as possible.  Along the route you see lots of locals waving and supporting the athletes.  Upon arrival the entire bus is searched on the outside to make sure all the stickers are intact and under the bus is checked as well by police and the military. As we get of the bus we must scan or credentials and face to make sure we are who we say we are. Go though metal detectors and bag bag screening along with having our temps checked.
