Some Important Policies

  1. Children who cannot meet the minimum swimming requirements for safety, will NOT be allowed on the Swim Team until they can.  The coaching staff will evaluate all swimmers abilities.

  2. It is very important that you provide us with at least one email address that is viewed at least once a week.  We will be using email as our primary method of communication.

  3. Each swimmer is expected to attend practices regularly and participate in meets.  It is the responsibility of the swimmer and his/her parents to notify the coaching team when a swimmer cannot attend practice and especially a meet.

  4. In order to have meets parents' help is needed.  One parent must attend a mandatory meeting before the swim league begins. The meeting date is May 2, 4-6 pm. in the club house. Sign up sheets will be available during registration and at the parents meeting.

  5. Because there are no lifeguards on duty during swim team practice, the siblings of swimmers are not allowed in the main pool!  Pool is Closed

  6. The baby pool may be used for very young children with parental supervision.
