Parent / Swimmer Responsibilities

CODE OF CONDUCT AGREEMENT
SWIMMER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The official behavior policy of the White Eagle Golf Club Pool is as follows:
In keeping with our program goals, we encourage fun for all our participants; however, certain rules are necessary to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment.

Participants are expected to:
1. Show respect for all participants and staff.

2. Please be respectful and refrain from using foul language.

3. Refrain from causing bodily harm to other participants or staff.

4. Show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities. Always clean up your team area at home and away meets.

5. Arrive 10 minutes before practice time. Swimmers will be in the water at the start time. Swimmers should bring their own marked towels and water bottles to practices. Swimmers who are not being picked up after practices should return home immediately after the scheduled practice time. Those being picked up should be picked up immediately after the scheduled practice time.

6. Arrive 1-hour prior to meet start for warm-ups and check-in. If not you will run the risk of being scratched from your events which will not only affect you but your team mates.

7. Notify their coaches, at least 5 days prior to the meet in writing if they can not attend a meet unless it is an emergency. This can be done by a note dropped off in the coach box or via e-mail. If the coach is not notified of your absence, you will not be allowed to participate in relays for the following (2) meets.

8. Remain at the swim meet until the end and participate in all scheduled events. Leaving early and not swimming in a scheduled relay will earn the same consequences as not showing: You will not be allowed to participate in relays for the following (2) meets.

If a participant continually behaves inappropriately, we will re-evaluate his or her enrollment. Also, if our staff has concerns about a child's behavior, parents will be consulted immediately.

PARENTS' RESPONSIBILITIES
1.  1. Show respect for all participants and staff.

2. Parents should ensure that swimmers arrive on time and in proper attire for meets and practices. Please pick up your child promptly after practices and meets.

3. Swim Meets will only be canceled when poor or unsafe conditions exist. Parents are responsible for making sure that their children are dressed appropriately for the weather conditions that exist.

4. Meet Referees’ decisions are final. Your sportsmanlike conduct on and around the pools can set a positive example for the swimmers. Unsportsmanlike conduct by parents may result in a warning given to the parent by the attending Naperville Park District Swim Conference Representative. The parent may be asked to leave the pool area.

5. If parents would like to stay for practices, please do so without interfering with the coaching staff. If coaches need your assistance, they will find you.

6. If a problem develops between a swimmer or parent and a coach, first discuss the problem with the coach. If further assistance is needed, please contact a parent board member or Park District Rep.

7. All regular season dual meets are held at neighborhood pools with small parking lots or street parking only. Please be considerate of the homeowners in these areas. Please do not turn around in residents' driveways, block driveways or mailboxes, or cut through residents' yards. Directions to all the pools are available under the tab 'Pool Locations'

8. It is imperative to observe and respect Handicap Parking spaces reserved for special needs families. Violators will be towed at their own expense.

9. Your child should bring his/her own water or non-carbonated beverage to practices. Label your child's water bottle as well as any other swimming equipment.

10. It is the responsibility of the parent to discuss any special needs of his/her child with the coach prior to the first practice. Examples are: asthma, hearing loss, behavior disorders, or any other learning, social or physical problems.
