Parent/Spectator Code of Conduct

 

The primary goal of our swim team is to provide an environment where our children can develop as swimmers and as members of a community.  Spectator and parental involvement in our swim team is crucial to the success of our team.  This involvement enhances the experience for all swimmers when the engagement is positive and when adults exhibit respect for our coaches, officials, spectators and all swimmers.

For every violation of the Ygnacio Wood Swim Team Code of Conduct, discipline will progress in three steps...

1. Ygnacio Wood coaches and/or lifeguards will address the behavior issue directly with the individuals involved.
2. If the behavior continues, the Club President and/or Team Director will address the behavior issue with the individuals involved and their family members.
3. If the behavior continues, the Board of Directors will discuss the behavior issue with the family members and vote to terminate their team and/or club membership.
