Portrait of my 15-years old son Ezra Aljoscha, an aspiring competition swimmer, in our broken "studio" pool a few days after the nationwide lockdown was declared. What does the Covid-19 restrictions imply for teenagers, and especially for young athletes who rely on regular training that is in times of Corona - depending on the type of sport - restricted or just not possible? Today, July 13th, most indoor pools in Germany are still closed leaving competition swimmers depending on off-peak times in public outdoor pools where they go on their own "to not lose the feeling for the water".
