Brookings Swim Club Parent Code of Conduct

(Updated September 2014)

As a parent of a swimmer and a member of Brookings Swim Club Inc.,

 Practice teamwork with all parents, swimmers and coaches by supporting the values of Discipline, Loyalty, Commitment and Hard Work.

Not coach or instruct the team or any swimmer at a practice or meets (from the stands or any other area) or interfere with coaches on the pool deck.

Demonstrate good sportsmanship by conducting myself in a manner that earns the respect of my child, other swimmer, parents, officials and the coaches at meets and practices.

Maintain self-control at all times.  I will know what my role is:

Swimmers – Swim; Coaches – Coach; Officials – Officiate; Parents – Parent

Understand that criticizing, name-calling, use of abusive language or gestures directed toward the coaches, officials and/or any participating swimmer will not be permitted or tolerated.

Enjoy involvement with the Brookings Swim Club by supporting swimmers, coaches and other parents with positive communications and actions.

During competitions, direct questions or concerns regarding decisions made by meet officials to the member of our coaching staff. Parents address officials via coaching staff only.

Questions or concerns regarding coaching methods or discipline should be directed toward the swimmers primary coach.  If you can’t resolve the concern with the primary coach then the admin coach should be contacted.  If the concern can’t be resolved with either coach, then contact the board president.

Sanctions:  Should I conduct myself in such a way that brings discredit or discord to Brookings Swim Club, or USA Swimming, I voluntarily subject myself to disciplinary action.  Brookings Swim Club maintains the right to terminate any membership with/without cause in the interest of our vision, mission, and objectives.
