Discipline Policy

 

RAC swimmers and divers are expected to exhibit good sportsmanship, conduct and display respect at all times and comply with all club policies, code of conduct and safe athlete policies.

In general, in instances when a swimmer or diver does not adhere to these standards, one warning will be given. If a behavior continues after a warning, the child will be asked to exit the pool, get dressed, and return to the pool deck as an observer until the practice is over. Upon the second violation, parents will then be informed. The RAC coaching staff and board reserve the right to suspend or expel a swimmer or diver from the program who is unable to adhere to our team standards and such suspension/expulsion may result in the forfeiture of monies paid to date.

Because unacceptable conduct has different levels of seriousness, the RAC coaching staff and board reserve the right to initiate discipline at an intermediate level or a step of discipline may be bypassed. In some instances, the severity of the conduct will warrant immediate suspension or expulsion of a swimmer or diver, without prior discipline or warning, and such suspension/expulsion may result in the forfeiture of monies paid to date.
