Klipfel has since begun coaching the Saugus swim team again after their spring season and summer conditioning program were canceled last year.
“We’re getting slowly back to normal and exercise is just so important to the kids for stress as well as socialization,” he said. “Protocols have been put in place to potentially begin competing again in the next few weeks, and the other schools in the Hart district are on board as well.”
Klipfel is scheduled to receive his second dose of the Pfizer vaccine in approximately 3 weeks.
Sarah Stoddard, a registered nurse and co-lead for the COVID-19 vaccine clinic at Henry Mayo, administered the vaccine to Klipfel.
