Swim Team Practice Rules

Parent Responsibilities:

• If the parent leaves during practice it is their responsibility to make sure their swimmer is picked up promptly at the end of practice.
• Follow all pool rules – listed on page 9 & 10 in the guidebook
• Advise the coaches a minimum of 5 days prior to a meet if you will not be at the meet.
• This will allow the maximum number of swimmers to swim in our meets, and less confusion at the clerk of course during the meet.
• Parents are expected to work half of each swim meet in which their child swims. 
• If your child leaves practice early please advise the coach before leaving.
• If your child is an ACAC Camper you must pick up your child before a swim meet, a coach cannot sign a camper out for a swim meet.

Swimmer Responsibilities

• Check in with the coach when you arrive to practice, and check out with the coach when you leave practice.
• Make the most of the swim practice opportunity. No horseplay, take practice seriously.
• Be supportive of your teammates.
• Good sportsmanship is required at all times.
• Come to meets prepared to do your best, have fun and support other swimmers.

PRACTICE TIMES:

Practices are held rain or shine!
