So please stay on top of things. We expect our Pre-Varsity and Varsity swimmers to take responsibility for their entries and information received at practice. Pre-Varsity is going well with the only problems being parents getting kids to practice late or not getting them there at all. All our kids need to understand the importance of practice and the commitment involved in being on Pre-Varsity. Every swimmer is important to the well-being of the team.
Every swimmer learns important life lessons from being a part of our team if the parents help.
Parents should not help swimmers invent reasons for not being at practice but rather should help them understand the importance of being at practice. We would like to have a better swim schedule for this group but it is not possible with our time slots and lane space. Swimmers had to make a huge jump from JV to Varsity and there is only so much space in Varsity. These kids have shown from their hard work and willingness to commit to swimming that they have earned their place. From time to time they may need to be reminded that earning the spot does not relieve them of their responsibility towards making themselves the best that they can be and their responsibility towards the team.
