Swimmers Code of Conduct:

Mount Joy Swim Team Swimmer Code of Conduct As a member of the Mount Joy Swim Team, I will abide by the following guidelines:

 

  • I will uphold the value of sportsmanship.  In doing so I will not act disrespectful towards any coach, official, swimmer from the Mount Joy Swim Team or another team, or any other individual involved with any aspect of the Mount Joy Swim Team.

  • Teamwork is the foundation of the Mount Joy Swim Team.  I understand that my actions will either enhance or take away from the environment of teamwork at practice and at meets.  I will enhance this environment by encouraging my teammates and maintaining a positive attitude.  If I don’t have something positive to say, I won’t say anything at all.

  • Destruction of pool property or property of teams we visit will not be tolerated under any circumstance.

  • I will participate fully in the meet warm-ups.  I understand that if I will be missing warm-ups for any reason, I need to inform one of the coaches ahead of time.  If I do miss warm-ups without informing one of the coaches, I may be scratched from the meet.

  • Practice is an essential part of becoming a better swimmer.  I understand the more regular my attendance the better swimmer I will become.  I will fully participate in and dry-land activities.

  • If I arrive early for practice, I will wait quietly until it is time for my practice to start.  I will not disrupt the practice that is occurring while I wait.

  • I understand that the coaching staff has the final say on dual meet lineups.  While I may ask to swim a specific every, that is not a guarantee that I will swim that event.  I will not refuse to swim any event.

  • I will be a responsible goodwill ambassador between the sport of swimming and the public, as well as represent the Mount Joy Swim Team in an appropriate manner.  

  • I will respect the coaches and their coaching style.  I will not talk back, refuse to practice, nor have a bad attitude or otherwise disrespect the coaches.
