Expectations of Swimmers

Regular attendance at practice- Swimmers should plan on attending practice every time a practice is offered and missing occasionally when conflicts arise. If your swimmer is going to be absent please try to contact the Head Coach via email to let them know in advance.
Punctuality- Swimmers are expected to be at workout on time every time. It is very discourteous to teammates and coaches when swimmers arrive late to workout and interrupt practice. If you know you are going to be late, please contact your coaches prior to practice via email or phone.
Shower before practice- All Civic Center members are required to shower before getting into the pool. Coaches are asked to enforce this. As a team, we need to be responsible and follow this policy. Showering prior to practice can help cut down on chemical usage and help maintain a quality environment for everyone in the pool area.

Swimmers are responsible for making sure they have their swim suit, goggles and cap for practice. It is a good idea to have an extra pair of goggles and cap with you at all times. We encourage them to bring a water bottle, along with a towel and items for showering after practice. The Civic Center is not responsible for lost or stolen items. It is your responsibility to secure your items in the locker room.
Positive Behavior- Swimmers are expected to show respect for all of the Civic Center staff, Coaching Staff and fellow members throughout the facility at all times. Swimmers are expected to listen, follow direction and respect the coaches during swim practices and at meets. Swimmers are also expected to keep their hands to themselves during practice. Good team sportsmanship is also expected of all swimmers at all times. Teasing, name calling and unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated.
