Burlington Co-op Girls Swim Team Pledge
-As a swim team member, I owe complete loyalty and allegiance to the high school team and agree to attend all scheduled high school practices in order to maintain team eligibility. The expectation is that high school practices preclude swim club practices. (Missed practices due to medical/personal reasons are allowed but need to be resolved directly with Coach Jones.)
-As a swim team member, I agree to stay later for practice if I start later than the established starting time, to assure training time equity.
-As a swim team member, I will treat all teammates and coaches in a respectful manner at all times.
-As a swim team member, I will make a total commitment to abstaining from the use of tobacco, alcohol, and all other illegal drugs at all times.
-If I choose to violate any or all of the above mentioned guidelines during my high school season, I would then be dropped from the team for the remaining portion of the current season.
-I do understand that Coach Jones is responsible for making the final determination as to whether a violation of the swim team pledge has been made.
