As a member of the Accokeek Swim Team (AST), I am part of a swimming organization that believes teamwork, integrity, respect and good sportsmanship are critically important.  I agree to follow the rules for behavior and sportsmanship while I am a member of AST. The following behavior guidelines state the principles AST expect all members to demonstrate and uphold.

PARENTS CODE of CONDUCT

• Respect the coaching staff's authority.  
• Demonstrate good sportsmanship and common courtesies to the team members, coaches, comptetitors, officials, parents, and facilitities during all practices, competitions and team activities.
• Promote good sportsmanship by setting an example and by helping others to do likewise.
