Social Media:  Periodically, pictures and information may be posted to team website and social media sites to promote our team's meets & activities.

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 double check that practice is occurring prior to leaving your child at the pool.

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

Dress: Your success is dependent upon you staying healthy. Take care to dry off well, especially your hair, and to dress appropriately for the weather - wear a hat/hood when it's cold.

Teammates: This is your team; make it enjoyable for everyone on the team.

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