By registering my child(ren) with the Conestoga Sharks Swim Team, I agree to participate (or allow my child(ren) and family members to participate) in the Conestoga Sharks Swim Team, and hereby release Conestoga Sharks Swim Team, its directors, officers, agents, coaches, and employees from liability for any injury that might occur to myself (or to my child(ren) and family members) while participating in the Conestoga Sharks Swim Team program, including travel to and from training sessions, swim meets or other scheduled team activities.

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the above mentioned organizations and/or individuals, their agents and/or employees, against any and all liability for personal injury, including injuries resulting in death to me, my child(ren) and/or other family members, or damage to my property, the property to my child(ren) and/or other family members, or both, while I (or my child(ren) or family members) participating in the Conestoga Sharks Swim Team program.

Our team relies heavily on parent volunteering and concession donations to make our season run smoothly. Without our wonderful volunteers, the season would not be possible! We also ask for donations for our concession stand at home meets, where you will have the option to purchase items for donation, or choose a monetary opt-out fee.

By registering my child(ren) for the Conestoga Sharks Swim Team, I acknowledge that I have been informed about the volunteering and donation components of this team.

As a parent of a swimmer and member of the Conestoga Swim Team, I will abide by the following guidelines:

1. Practice teamwork with all parents, swimmers and coaches by supporting the values and mission of the Conestoga Swim Team.
2. I will not interfere with coaches on the pool deck or attempt to coach or instruct the team or any swimmer at a practice or meets (from the stands or other areas).
3. Demonstrate good sportsmanship by conducting myself in a manner that earns the respect of my child, other swimmers, parents, officials and the coaches at meets and practice
4. Maintain self-control at all times. I know my role.

Swimmers…Swim

Coaches… Coach

Officials… Officiate

Parents …Parent

1. I understand that criticizing, name-calling, use of abusive language or gestures directed toward the coaches, officials, and/or any participating swimmer will not be permitted or tolerated, and I may be asked to leave the program.
2. Enjoy involvement with the Conestoga Swim Team by supporting the swimmers, coaches, and other parents with positive communications and actions.
3. During competitions, question or concerns regarding decisions made by meet officials are directed to our coaching staff. Parents address officials via the coaches only.

Should I conduct myself in such a way that brings discredit or discord to the Conestoga Swim Team, or the community, I voluntarily subject myself to disciplinary action. The Conestoga Swim Team maintains the right to terminate any membership with/without cause in the interest of our vision, mission, and objective.
