Team Info

Swim Team is  a great experience for many children growing up.  Swim Team is NOT swim lessons / instruction.  All team members should be able to swim a basic freestyle stroke.  Coaches will be teaching conditioning and RACING techiques.  Parents please carefully consider your child’s skill level prior to signing them up.

It is important that all members of the Wahoo Swim Team know and understand the following rules and regulations:

• All participants are encouraged to attend as many practices as possible so that each swimmer may imporve upon his/her skill, and so as a team, we can perform at our best ability.
• All hands are to be kept to oneself.  No pushing is allowed.  If pushing occurs, the swimmer will be removed from practice and/or the meet until the coaches have spoken with the parents.
• Listen to your coaches.
• Good sportsmanship is expected at all times.  Name calling, taunting, etc will NOT be tolerated.
• Disrespectfulness toward the coaches and or teammates will NOT be tolerated.
• Coaches reserve the right to remove a swimmer from any team related activity if proper team etiquette is not followed by the swimmer or their parents.

EQUIPMENT - It is important that all members of the Wahoo Swim Team be prepared for each practice.  We ask that you do your best to be on time and have the proper equipment on deck at the START of practice.

• Pair of goggles
• Cap if needed
• Pair of fins

Team Caps & Shirts - Each swimmer will receive a Wahoo Swim Team Shirt and cap when all registration paperwork is complete.  Please wear these items proudly at each meet or team function.  If additional shirts or caps are needed they are available for purchase at home meet concessions.  We as you save the team caps for meets so the coaches can easily identify Wahoo swimmers when they are in the water.

Parents of Younger swimmers and new swimmers: please be particularly careful of where your children are before and after practice.  If you as a parent are not available before practice, your child(ren) will not be allowed in the pool until practice begins.  If you drop them off before the practice begins please remind them that they are to wait patiently for stretching to begin.  When practice ends they will be returned to their parents and reminded that they can not go back in the pool until they have received your permission. 

SWIM OUT BOOK - If you know definitely IN ADVANCE that your swimmer will NOT be able to swim in a schedule meet, please sign them out of that meet at least ONE WEEK in advance to that meet.  The coaches will have the book at every practice or you can email Cary at cary@hirapara.com
