Let the Coach 'Coach'

Parents are not to come on deck
Viewing practice should be done from the bleachers or viewing windows.
Parents should not communicate with their swimmers during practice. If the coach feels they need your help with a situation they will ask you.
Understand physical maturation and the importance it has on development
Every swimmer begins with a set of skills and body type.
Our goal is to provide each swimmer with what they need to reach their own potential.

Respect coaches and understand who to contact for what:

Contact the coach about your child’s progression
