Laramie Swim Club Policies
Please read the Laramie Swim Club Handbook to become familiar with the club policies.
Two important policies to understand are the volunteer policy and Codes of Conduct.
Parents are required to volunteer 4 hours per attended home meet. Board-recognized volunteer opportunities will meet this volunteer requirement. If a parent does not volunteer for the 4 hours of a meet that their swimmer(s) attend, a buy-out fee of $50.00 will be applied to the family’s account. The Board will waive the hourly requirement and see if there are more volunteers than available opportunity hours in a meeting. The Board has the discretion to change this policy as it is implemented and evaluated.
Model Code of Conduct
Parents and athletes must read and sign the appropriate Codes of Conduct to continue practicing or participating in meets. Parents must sign the Parent Code of Conduct, while Athletes must sign the Minor Athlete Code of Conduct or the Adult Athlete Code of Conduct.
Codes of Conduct must be signed within one month of joining the Laramie Swim Club. Athletes will not be allowed to participate in practice or swim meets until they have signed and returned the codes to their coach.
Media Release:
Often we use social media to highlight all the hard work and fun that is had on the Laramie Swim Team. Thus if you are comfortable with your child being on our website, social media sites, in the paper, etc...you do not have to do anything with this form. We seldom use names and will ask first if we want to post something specific to your child. This is mainly pictures from meets, banquets, fun practices, state, team pics, awards, etc...
If you wish to NOT have your child be photographed, please turn in the form to your child's coach, signed with the names of your children. If we do not receive a form, we will assume you are okay with your child being included in team pictures. The Form is located under Team Info>Forms.
