General Rules

  1. All swimmers must show their Club Membership Card at the front desk prior to entering the property. “Out-of-Area” club cards are only valid during the swim season and only for Dolphin events.
  2. Swimmers under 10 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to be on Club property. Parents can not just drop off children under 10 years old and leave.
  3. Train hard with a good attitude.
  4. Pay attention to stroke instruction, drills and other coaching tips.
  5. Do not talk while the coaches are talking or while training.
  6. Make as many practices as possible.
  7. Do not run on the pool deck.
  8. Do not leave trash around the pool that others must pick up. Help keep the restrooms clean.
  9. Do not horseplay or mess around in or out of the pool. The “kiddy pool” and playground are off limits during practice and meets.
  10. Do not interfere with any other swimmer's workout.
  11. Treat your coaching staff, team members, parent volunteers, and Club Staff with respect.
  12. Respect the sport of swimming and all of your competitors. Remember, they are training to improve just as you are. They are not the enemy, only the competition. Without healthy competition, you would not have the desire to go faster!
  13. Swimmers are expected to arrive at workouts and meets before the specified time with all gear (team suits, caps, goggles, towels, T-shirts, sweats, waterproof sunscreen, etc.) and to be prepared to listen to the coaches.
  14. Warm-ups begin one hour before swim meets. Please allow sufficient drive time to get your swimmer to the pool because it's vital he/she warms up to avoid injury to "cold" muscles. Maps to away meets are included in this handbook to help you get there on time.
  15. Absences - Please log into the meet book in advance that you will not be attending a particular meet. In an emergency (illness, etc.) please call the Head Coach. Much planning is needed to place swimmers in events.
  16. Siblings and other small children must be supervised by parents or guardians.
    THE COACHING STAFF AND FACILITY STAFF ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BABYSITTING YOUR CHILDREN.
  17. Have fun!
