PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES

But, we all must contribute to the success of our children. 

2. The children and then the parents are responsible for making sure their swimmers get to practices and meets on time. At meets, parents should watch the event board, listen to the announcer and know where their swimmers are at all times (it can get chaotic). Please help. 

3. Please do not send sick swimmers to practice or meets. Please notify the coaches ASAP if your child is too sick to attend a meet. The lineup and volunteer schedule will need to be changed, so please be respectful of the other swimmers, coaches, and team representative and let someone know you will not be able to attend.

4. There is no smoking or vaping at swim meets or practices (home or away).

2. If you are not a member of the Dunmoor Swim and Tennis Club, then you and your child may only be at the pool during their designated swim team time. 

3. Swimmers are expected to be respectful and supportive of their teammates, competitors, officials, coaches, volunteers, or any other parents/team members.
