Making Good Choices . . .

Swimmers are rewarded for excellent behavior with Friday Fun Days.   On Fridays, the coaches shorten the practice and facilitate fun games for the swimmers, including Sharks and Minnows, Popcorn, etc.   On rare occasions our coaches do need to interrupt bad choices on the part of the swimmers. Any behavior that interferes with a coach’s ability to conduct practice or endangers the swimmer and/or their teammates will not be tolerated.  Coaches may discipline swimmers who are not following our code of conduct by (1) asking them to sit on the bench during practice, (2) asking them to leave the facility if their parents are there to take them home, or (3) dismissing them from the next meet.  Repeating of offenses may be cause for dismissal from the team without reimbursement of registration fees.
