Codes of Conduct
A team is most successful when it honors the differences between its members while working for common goals. Seacoast’s first priority is always swimmer safety, both in and out of the water. Further, we work to promote self-discipline, teamwork, independence, accountability, work ethic, goal setting and excellence. Our community requires the active participation from swimmers, coaches, and parents.
