Be on Time: Whether arriving in a car pool or individually, be sure to arrive on time. Remember to allow time to do any flexibility work and/or fix your cap and goggles before practice begins. Parents- please stay at the pool or have someone responsible available in the case of an emergency.

Use of Facilities: We are guests of all the facilities we use. Please conduct yourselves as such before and after practice.  We are a respected group only as long as we respect others.

Dress: Your success is dependent upon your staying healthy. Take care to dry off well, especially your hair, and to dress appropriately for the weather.

Teammates: This is your team; make it enjoyable for everyone on the team. Offer encouragement to at least one other swimmer each day. A "good job" or "nice set" helps make the practice time shorter.

Problems: If you have any questions or problems, talk to one of the coaches. They are the best source of an answer or solution.
