At swim meets, swimmers will:

Disrespectful behavior, abusive language, harassment, bullying, lying, stealing, and vandalism will not be tolerated on the Alameda Gators Swim Team.  These behaviors are directly contrary to the objective of the club and are detrimental to the group and warrant strict disciplinary action.
