Be An Active Swimmer and Parent
- A: Ask Questions -
- Have a question about what the coach is teaching or you observe unsafe behavior? Ask questions and if you "See something, Say something"
- C: Commit to the Team -
- Have your swimmer wear their team gear to all team functions (team suit, team cap & team t-shirt)
- Participate in meets/games- we are a competitive program
- Come to practice on a regular basis
- T: Teach Responsibility:
- Teach your athlete to manage their own equipment for practice and meets
- Teach your athlete to manage their time between family,school and the sport they chose
- I: Get Involved -
- Become familiar with the FAST and USA Swimming website (swimmers too) There is a wealth of information out there
- V: Volunteer
- When hosting swim meets volunteers are needed to be successful.
- There are meets that will require our team to time- this is a parent responsibility and you have an opportunity to make a new friend
- E: Encourage your athlete
- Be the parent that encourages your athlete without putting a lot of pressure on them. Hugs and pats on the back are great. Winning and success is the by product of hard work and having fun
