The purpose of a Code of Conduct is to establish consistent expectations for behavior by parents.

As a parent/guardian, I understand the importance of growth and developmental support that my child’s participation fosters. I also understand that it is essential to provide the coaching staff with respect and the authority to coach. I agree with the following statements:

❏ I will set the right example for our children by demonstrating sportsmanship and showing respect and common courtesy at all times to the team members, coaches, competitors, officials, parents, and all facilities.

❏ I will get involved by volunteering, cheering at meets, and talking with my child and their coach about their progress.

❏ I will refrain from coaching my child from the stands during practices or meets.

❏ I understand that criticizing, name-calling, and use of abusive language or gestures directed toward coaches, officials, volunteers, and/or any participating swimmers will not be tolerated.

❏ I will respect the integrity of the officials.

❏ I will respect the program and staff and will refrain from posting negative or disrespectful comments about the coaches, staff, or team on any social media.

❏ I will direct my concerns first to my swimmer’s coach.

I understand the above expectations and that my failure to adhere to them may result in disciplinary action and/or termination of club membership.
