Athlete Code of Conduct

The purpose of a code of conduct for athletes is to establish a consistent expectation for athletes’ behavior. 

• 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 will set a good example of behavior and work ethic for my younger teammates.

• I will be respectful of my teammates’ feelings and personal space.  Swimmers who exhibit sexist, racist, homophobic, or otherwise inappropriate behavior will be faced with consequences.

• I will attend all team meetings and training sessions, unless I am excused by my coach.

• I will show respect for all facilities and other property (including locker rooms) used during practices, competitions, and team activities.

• I will refrain from foul language, violence, behavior deemed dishonest, offensive, or illegal.

• If I disagree with an official’s call, I will talk with my coach and not approach the official directly.

• I will obey all of USA Swimming’s rules and codes of conduct. 

I understand that if I violate this code of conduct, I will be subject to disciplinary action determined by the Head Coach.
