• Be respectful of their teammates’ feelings and personal space. Athletes who exhibit sexist, racist, homophobic, or otherwise inappropriate behavior will face consequences
• Attend practices and team events as outlined in group descriptions and discussed at group meetings, unless excused by their lead coach
• Show respect for all facilities and other property (including locker rooms) used during practices, competitions, and team activities
• Promote the use of positive self-talk, encouragement toward teammates, and respect toward all
• Refrain from foul language, violence, behavior deemed dishonest, offensive, or illegal
• Talk with their lead coach and not approach the official directly if they disagree with an official’s call
• Obey all of USA Swimming’s rules and codes of conduct
• Represent the whole of PSL and be mindful of the team and community that supports them

Violations of this Code of Conduct will result in disciplinary action which may include suspension and or removal from the team as determined by the coaches and PSL’s Board of Directors.
