If your swimmer does not feel well, please do not come to practice.

Listen, listen, listen!!! Swim practices should be fun, and swimmers should be enjoying their time with each other, building their community. However, when the coach is speaking, it is important not only to listen but to do what is asked of them. The coaches may use a white board to display daily workouts and may create lane assignments to help swimmers stay on task.  If lane assignments are given, swimmers must remain in the assigned lane.

Be on time. Early is on time, on time is late. Swimmers, please arrive at least 15 minutes before practice starts to stretch out and prepare to enter the pool. 

Attend practice. In joining this team, you have made a commitment that should not be broken. The coaches understand there are other obligations, such as being involved with a year-round swim team, religious activities, academic requirements, family emergencies, sickness, job commitments, vacations, etc. Swimmers will not be penalized for any of these reasons; however, they are encouraged to attend as many practices as possible. If a swimmer does not want to do what is asked of them, then do not come to practice. Practices are not mandatory.

Respect!!! Swimmers must respect their teammates, other teams, other pools and their coaches. Being disrespectful to anyone is not tolerated! If a swimmer is being disrespectful, he or she will be issued a warning. If the disrespect continues, the swimmer will be asked to sit out for the duration of that practice with their parent on deck. If the swimmer is over the age of 12 and their parent is not on deck, a notice will be sent to their parent stating that they have been asked to leave practice.

Stay motivated and positive. An excellent attitude leads to excellent swimming. The coaches will do everything to make sure the team remains positive at all times. In addition, coaches expect all swimmers to motivate each other and display leadership to one another.

Practice good habits only. Habits are contagious, good and bad; therefore, the coaches expect only good habits to be displayed. If everyone swims with great technique, then there is no room for bad habits. Remember, “Perfect practice makes perfect.”

Give your all at every practice and meet. As coaches, we expect 100% at practice and meets. Giving more than 100% will separate the good swimmers from the awesome swimmers.

HAVE FUN!!!
