By Registering with CSA Blue Crush you are agreeing to comply with the team's Code of Conduct.  Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to:

  • verbal reprimand/parent conference
  • time-out on deck (swimmers)
  • immediate dismissal from practice or meet
  • dismissal from team

Parents, if you have a concern related to practice, swimmer behavior, etc, that is worth discussing, please go directly to the coach on deck after practice.  The coaches can help you figure out how to best address your observations.  Sometimes what you think you see or hear is not what is actually going on.  Also, promptly discussing the matter gives the coaches the benefit of having some idea of what you are referring to.
