Swimmer Code of Conduct
The purpose of this code of conduct for athletes is to establish a consistent expectation for athletes’ behavior. Swimmers are required to sign their understanding of this information in the Parent Packet each season.
- I will respect and show courtesy to my teammates and coaches at all times
- I will demonstrate good sportsmanship at all practices and meets

- I understand that I am expected to be in attendance at practice at least 50% of the time. If my attendance drops below 50%, I realize that I will be reevaluated for a different level.
- I will show respect for all facilities & other property (including locker rooms) used during practices, competitions & team activities.
