SAUK PRAIRIE POOL SHARKS SWIMMER CODE OF CONDUCT

The swimmers themselves are ultimately responsible for their own behavior. Sauk Prairie Pool Sharks (SPPS) is a swim team, and all swimmers must respect themselves, their team, and their coaches. The Head Coach is ultimately responsible for helping reinforce the code of conduct; the swimmers themselves are responsible for following it.

All SPPS swimmers are expected to be polite, cooperate with and respect others and all property. They should demonstrate good behavior when attending practices and meets ~~ in and out of the pool~~ as well as at all SPPS activities. Swimmers will not embarrass, ridicule or demean others under any Circumstances. Any swimmer that endangers another swimmer, disrupts practices or meets, or makes insulting or derogatory remarks, gestures or acts (including taunting directed at coaches or other swimmers) will be deemed to be not following this code of conduct.

All pool safety rules are clearly posted in the pool area and must be followed. Always put safety first, last and always. No one is allowed in any part of the pool until permission comes from a coach on deck. No diving or jumping into the pool unless under direct supervision of a coach. No food, gum or beverages are allowed in the pool area. Spitting or sharing of any body fluids is not tolerated in the pool, pool area or in the locker rooms.

Any swimmer found or suspected of any activity listed above will be dealt with by the Head Coach as described:

1. The coach will give the swimmer a verbal warning.

2. If there is a second occurrence, the coach will contact the parent to seek their assistance in dealing with the behavior.

3. If there is a third occurrence, the coach will confer with the Board of Directors which may result in the swimmer being dismissed from the team at their discretion. No fees will be refunded to dismissed members.

SPPS has a zero tolerance policy towards drugs. Swimmers are not to use or possess alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs, or other banned substances. This includes the use of performance enhancing substances such as caffeine pills, creatine, steroids, etc.

Every summer, Pool Sharks hosts 3 or 4 home meets and we rely on parents to volunteer at each one. At least one family member must volunteer for a job at each home meet their child swims. This is a $100 conditional fee per family, to be applied during registration but not charged during checkout.  At the end of the season, if volunteer requirements are fulfilled, this conditional fee will not be charged to your credit card. If they are not fulfilled, the conditional fee will be charged and deposited into the Pool Sharks General Fund for purchase of new equipment for the Pool Sharks program.

There's a $20 concession fee per family to purchase supplies for home meets.
