The Administrative Assistant will send out a notice when a swim meet is approaching and who is qualified to attend that meet. If your swimmer qualifies and is able to attend that meet, the parent uses the website to enter their "intent to swim" for the days the swimmer is able to swim in that meet (Note that there is a deadline for entering meets). The swimmer's coach then enters the events of those swimmers who signed up as being able to attend. Swimmers should consult with the coaches as to the events they will be swimming. A notice is posted that the entries have been determined so each participant can review the entries before they are submitted to the host team. Parents and swimmers need to check the entry information to make sure it is correct. IF IT IS INCORRECT, contact the Administrative Assistant as soon as possible to make corrections. |

The procedure is to address all swim-related questions to your child's coach first. If you require more assistance, you may approach Head Coach Kyle Johnson. If you are unable to resolve your concern, and only in this case, approach the board of directors regarding placement. The board will listen to your swim issue, but will refer you to the coaches for resolution if you have not done so already. General team function questions should be addressed to the board of directors. The swimmers are encouraged to talk to their coaches directly regarding any problems they may be experienceing as this builds an important relationship and fosters personal and competitive growth and self-reliance.
The coaching staff decides on the squad placement based on their experience, evaluation, space availability, squad standards and consultation with the swimmer. If a swimmer feels that they are ready to move to another squad, they shoudl aproach their coach for advisement. The parent will be notified if a squad change is recommended. |
