Safety routines
Sign-in
Swimmers sign in with a coach on the deck and sign out at the end of the evening. A parent or guardian can be reached by phone during every clinic.
The pool's lifeguard
The pool's lifeguard is on duty during our clinics. Water safety is part of every clinic: where to stand, how to enter at the wall and when to stop.
Starts
Starts are taught from the deck first. A swimmer starts from the block only when the coach says so, in a lane with a coach beside it.
Unwell or closed
We text families when the district closes the pool, and a missed clinic is made up in the same block.
