Practice etiquette
During swim practices, the coaches are focused on the swimmers in practice and the swimmers should be focused on the coaches. If a swimmer or parent needs to talk to a coach, it should be done outside of practice times.
Please review some other guidelines with your swimmer(s).
- Only swimmers in the current practice should be part of the dry land circle
- When practice is over for an age group, those swimmers should leave the practice area
- Swimmers not in the current practice should not be sitting with the coaches or walking around with the coaches
- Swimmers should not throw any items at coaches, at swimmers, or into any lanes being used for practice
- No one should shoot squirt guns at coaches or swimmers while they are in practice
