Swimmers

We are glad that you have decided to join our team.  You will find that our team is very flexible.  We offer practices six nights a week.   Although there are no mandatory practices, you may come as often as you like.  Our coaches do recommend that you try to practice at least three days a week to see significant improvement, but attendance is always left up to our swimmers.  We also offer the ability to participate in USA Swimming meets in the fall, winter and summer. These meets offer swimmers the ability to feel a sense of accomplishment and build a closer bond with the other swimmers on the team.  Ultimately it is your choice if you want to participate in meets, and if you participate in a meet it is your decision as to what events you will swim.  Regardless of how often you come to practice and whether you swim in meets all of our swimmers are part of our team. 

❏ I will respect and show courtesy to my teammates and coaches at all times.
❏ I will demonstrate good sportsmanship at all practices and meets
.❏ I will set a good example of behavior and work ethic for my younger teammates.
❏ I will be respectful of my teammates’ feelings and personal space. Swimmers who exhibit sexist, racist, homophobic, or otherwise inappropriate behavior will be faced with consequences.
❏ I will attend all team meetings and training sessions, unless I am excused by my coach.
❏ I will show respect for all facilities and other property (including locker rooms) used during practices, competitions, and team activities.

❏ If I disagree with an official’s call, I will talk with my coach and not approach the official directly.
❏ I will obey all of USA Swimming’s rules and codes of conduct.

I understand that if I violate this code of conduct, I will be subject to disciplinary action determined by my coaches and the swim club’s board of directors
