all times during practice and swim meets. When your

ensure that they have adult supervision in the bleachers or along
the perimeter of theool deck, until it’s time to

includes covers and lane lines each night. All swimmers must be
responsible for care of team equipment – this includes lane
lines, paddles, kickboards, and fins.
Discipline
Coaches may suspend a swimmer for disciplinary reason from swim
practice for a maximum of three days. Coaches may also recommend to
the board that a swimmer be expelled from the club if his/her
judgment, that swimmer is unable to conform to the disciplinary
guidelines established for swim practice and club participation.
The board will support the coach’s recommendations.
Courtesy for the Coaches
Please leave the coaching to the coaches. Communication between
coaching staff and parents should be prior to or after practice.
Please be considerate of the coach’s time and other
parent’s needs.
Assist at MVAQ-hosted Swim Meets
Each family is responsible for working eight hours at each
MVAQ hosted swim meet. If you do not fulfill your obligation you
will be assessed a $100.00 per meet fee.
Fundraising and Community Awareness
Participate in fundraising activities that involve the team.
Families may choose a buy-out option ($25 per swimmer), rather
than participate. Promote in your business, professional,
and civic involvement—it’s a good program for the
community.

fulfill the team’s timing responsibility for that meet. MVAQ
is assigned a specific number of chairs at each meet and a sign up
