Swimmer Expectations
Swimmers are expected to be able to safely swim the length of the pool unaided. Swimmers under the age of 8 are given some leeway, but need to be able to safely swim the length unaided for safety reasons. Swim team is not the same as swim lessons, although instruction will be given during swim team to improve strokes, increase speed and endurance and improve technique in areas such as diving and flip turns. The coaches will be responsible for determining if your child meets this criteria and their decision will be upheld by the swim team directors. Our mini-monarchs swim program allows children who cannot make the length, but are water safe, to participate on swim team.
Swimmers are expected to make as many practices as possible. We always run in to previously scheduled sports (baseball, soccer, etc.) and this year will be no different. If such an activity conflicts with swim practice, please let the coaches know you will be gone. A written note via email is best. Once school is out for the summer, we expect swimmers to attend all scheduled practices and swim meets unless prior arrangements have been made with the swim coaches. Unexcused absences will be taken into consideration when completing swim meet line-ups, especially in the age groups where numbers are an issue.
Have Fun!
Swimmers are expected to be ready for dry land excercises when their practice session begins.
