Heidelberg Sea Lions Swim Team Parent’s Code of Conduct

We the ______________________ Family agree that we:

will remember that swimming is meant to be fun for the swimmer!

will demonstrate good sportsmanship regardless of the situation by acting in a
positive manner and showing appropriate respect towards all swimmers, officials, parents and coaches.

will show support and encouragement to all swimmers on all teams at all times.

will place my child’s emotional and physical well being ahead of my own
personal desire to win.

will help my child’s team by fulfilling my service agreement commitment through volunteering and or paying the appropriate fee.

will not use drugs, tobacco or alcohol at any Heidelberg Sea Lions practices or
meets and will remind other parents not to do so.

will remember that the swim meet is for the swimmers and not for the adults.

will encourage my child to shake hands with the other swimmers at the conclusion of their race.

will not disrupt team practices or meets by distracting the coaches while they are on the deck.  We will address our concerns about our swimmer or the team to the appropriate person (Coach or Board Member) at a time that does not distract them from their duties.

will make all dues and fee payments on time.  If we fail to do so, all previous payments that have been paid are non-refundable.

will notify the president of the Booster Club via letter or e-mail of our intent to resign from the team.  Notification will be made by the 1st day of the month.  If notification is made after the 1st of the month, that month will be counted as a month on the team for the purpose of dues or potential refunds.
