Team Expectations

All swimmers and divers will attend all assigned practices and meets. In the case of excused absences, swimmers should inform Coach in person at least 24 hours before practice or via e-mail. Swimmers should NOT be missing meets for any reason.

Please read the MIAA Bona Fide Team Member Rule extracted from the Masconomet Student-Athlete Guidebook:

28. MIAA Bona Fide Team Member Rule:

A bona fide member of the school team is a student who is consistently present for, and actively participates in, all high school team sessions (e.g. practices, tryouts, competitions). Bona fide members of a school team are precluded from missing a high school practice or competition in order to participate in a non-school athletic activity/event in any sport recognized by the MIAA.

The first offense of the bona fide team rule will result in only a suspension for 25% of the season.

The second offense will result in a suspension for 25% of the season, and ineligibility for tournament participation.

All swimmers and divers need to arrive on time and ready to swim at both practices and meets. Therefore, if it takes you 10 minutes to stretch and 10 minutes to get changed please arrive 20 minutes prior to practice beginning or before meet warm-ups.

All swimmers need to come ready to do their best, be willing to try new events, and learn new skills.
