If a swimmer
or parent from another team approaches you about joining PASA, it
is important that you know....
Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics, founded in 2003, has experienced a
great deal of growth and prosperity since our inception. In that
time frame we have achieved a great deal in the competition pool
and with that, drawn more attention to how that success has been
achieved. We are not only judged by our swimmers performance in and
out of the water, but also by how our parents and coaches conduct
themselves on the pool deck.
With growing
interest in our program, experienced swimmers from other clubs
consider joining PASA. This leads to the question "What, if
anything, is appropriate to say to swimmers or parents of swimmers
from other teams?" As a parent, the answer is simple- refer the
person in question to your coach. It is the coach’s job to
make sure that the prospective swimmer talks to his or her club
coach first. Then our coach will follow up with a personal
conversation with the prospective swimmer’s coach. This puts
the entire situation up front and keeps all parties well informed.
Changes in swimming are inevitable, but the courtesy shown during
this change is paramount.
Remember, that at
competitions, not only are the performances of our swimmers being
judged, but the conduct of parents as well. At the end of the day,
you must ask yourself "Is what I’m doing a positive
reflection on PASA?" We will continue to try and improve as a
program both in and out of the water and your cooperation is very
much appreciated.
Thank you in
advance for your help and we look forward to many more years of
success!
