On Deck Competition Behavior

• Whenever and wherever a swimmer wears any item of The team uniform, he/she should remember that his/her actions and words reflect on the team he/she represents, and behave accordingly, Let your actions reflect the pride you have in The Dolphins Club organization

• As a matter of courtesy to the officials and meet host, it is preferable that swimmers and parents alike stay off the deck and out of the competition area unless they are competing or serving in an official capacity.

• Similarly, as a matter of courtesy, all questions swimmers or parents may have concerning meet results, an officiating call, or the conduct of a meet, should be referred to the Coaching staff. They, in turn, will pursue the matter through the proper channels.

• As a matter of pride, leave the rest area and the pool area, including the spectator’s gallery, in a neat and clean condition at the conclusion of each session of the meet.

• With regard to which events a swimmer competes in, the coaching staff will have the final word. The Dolphins Club team members should never scratch or late-enter an event without first consulting one of the coaches.

• In a meet with preliminaries and finals, it is expected that any swimmer qualifying to swim in the finals will do so.

• Swimmers are expected to offer encouragement and support for all members of the team. Positive comments and team spirit are beneficial to everybody. Negative thoughts and comments should be kept to yourself as it affects everyone present.
