Welcome to Our Peak Swim Team Family!​

 Peak Swim Team is fortunate to have experienced, professional  coaches working to develop our children into better swimmers, and more importantly, teaching and instilling important life skills. These skills include perseverance, time-management, self-discipline, effort, and sportsmanship. Your child will reap the benefits of swimming long after his/her participation with Peak Swim Team ends.​

As parents, it is absolutely essential that we give our coaching staff and board members the respect and authority they deserve to run our swim team. Our coaches are hired for that purpose and the Head Coach oversees the direction of those coaches.​

• Be an active participant in all fundraising events and other team activities.

• Teach and practice good sportsmanship at all meets and practices. You are role models!​

• Respect the sport. Respect the officials. Respect the coaches. Respect the swimmers. Respect other parents, who often serve as volunteers.​

• NEVER criticize other swimmers, coaches, or officials regardless of the circumstances.

• Follow the “24 Hour Rule”. If you have a complaint resulting from a meet (or practice) situation, speak with the coach on the following day, and not while he/she is coaching. 

• Do not coach your child. Let swimmers swim and coaches coach, and support both positively. As is reiterated at each of our parent meetings, parents will not interact with swimmers during practice. If this happens, parents may be asked to watch from the lobby.

• Emphasize to your children the benefits of training, competing, and putting forth best effort at all times, while balancing that with the joy the swimmers get from being with friends and looking forward to practices.

• You are welcome to watch practice, but USA Swimming insurance guidelines require that parents and other non-staff/swimmers sit in designated seating and are not on-deck. 

• Support your child by ensuing they are on time to practices and meets, and they are picked up on time, as well.

• Support your professional coaches as they strive to do what is best for each Peak swimmer. Our coaches are trained on the latest expectations and methods in the sport.  Your unconditional love of your athlete is the greatest thing you can give your child.

• Insist that your child refrain from using alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, drugs, other prohibited substances, violence, abusive or foul language, inappropriate sexual conduct, or any other behavior deemed dishonest, discourteous, offensive or disrespectful of others.

• If you have concerns, you will address it with the appropriate coach in private, not during practice, and following the "24 Hour Rule" if it applies to that conversation.

• Pay your fees on time.

• Know and uphold Peak Swim Team rules, regulations, management and coach directives, and by-laws that are designed to maximize the experience for all swimmers and parents.

• Time at meets, as required and assigned by the host team.

• The Board reserves the right to close practice or remove a parent from team activities if that parent is deemed to be harassing, targeting, disrespectful, or otherwise negatively impacting the team culture, Board members, or coaching staff.
