Practice Policies
MISSING PRACTICE
It is not necessary to notify the coach if you will miss practice during the first few weeks of practice. We understand that other sports and end of year activities will overlap. However, once the season begins, we ask that all swimmers show respect and responsibility when it comes to participating on the Clemmons West Aqua Demons Swim Team. We understand conflicts will come up and swimmers will be excused with prior notice. However, if your child has two unexcused absences from practice in a week, he/she may be removed from certain events in the next meet. The coach will give preference to the dedicated swimmers in these cases. We ask that you be considerate of this rule.
CANCELED PRACTICE
There will be times when practice will start only to be canceled for a variety of reasons, including thunder, lightning, water contamination, etc. If it is raining, without thunder or lightning, practice will likely be held. Older swimmers who attend practice without an adult should know what to do if practice is suddenly called off. Please discuss this possibility with your swimmer and devise a plan. It is the swimmer’s responsibility, however, to approach the coach or board member for assistance if needed.
LEAVING PRACTICE
Please be considerate and police your area before leaving the pool. Chairs, lounges, tables, umbrellas etc. must be returned to the way they were found. Remove all personal belongings and trash.
