- Follow the "Rules of the Pool" at our pools and at the pools we visit for meets:
- Walk on deck - no running.
- No rough play or profanity allowed.
- Do not enter the pool without a coach or lifeguard at poolside.
- No swimmers are permitted on the diving boards.
- No glass bottles, jars, mugs, etc. on the pool deck.
- Establish goals and actively train to achieve them.
- Work together with your teammates.
- Show up at practice on time and with a positive attitude.
- Once routine practices begin in May, make every effort to attend practices regularly. Successful routine practices rely on the presence of all routine participants. If you must miss a practice, be sure to let your coach and your routine partners know ahead of time. Some practices are manditory for participation in routines for championships and the fall show. See VFCAL Synchronized Meets and Show section below for mandatory dates.
- Show respect for all coaches and lifeguards.
- Keep your ears above water when coaches are giving directions. Coaching many girls in the water is challenging due to the noise level of splashing water and all swimmers need to be extra good listeners.
- The consequences for talking back to coaches or not following directions will be as follows:
- A verbal reminder will be given.
- If needed, the swimmer will be asked to get out of the water for a short period of time to regain a positive attitude.
- Swimmer will be asked to get out of the water for the remainder of the practice and parents will be contacted.
