Parent Code of Conduct
- Demonstrate good sportsmanship by conducting myself in a manner that earns the respect of my child, other swimmers, parents, officials and the coaches at meets and practices. This includes making sure that my child/swimmer is punctual at practices, meets and team events.
- Respect others, their property, the aquatic facilities and accommodations at our home facility and during travel events.
- Ensure my child/swimmer is aware of and abides by the Swimmer’s Code of Conduct.
- As a club member, represent the Windsor Aquatic Club by supporting the swimmers, coaches and other parents with positive communication and actions.
- During competitions, questions or concerns regarding decisions made by coaches or meet officials are only to be made to the coaching staff after the session is completed and in an area off the pool deck.
- Remain in the area designated for spectators both at swim meets and during practices.
- As a parent, I will not interrupt or confront the coaching staff on the pool deck during practice or meets. I will not coach or instruct the team or any swimmer at a practice or meets (from the stands or any other area) or interfere with coaches on the pool deck.
- Use respectful and non-threatening language (including gestures) in all communications.
- Obtain consent from the Head Coach prior to enrolling my child/swimmer in any additional competitive swim training during the Windsor Aquatic Club season.
