Pool Deck Rules

Parents are requested to refrain from consulting with the coaches or swimmers during training and competition. A distraction of this kind could prevent the coach from providing the supervision required by the other swimmers. Consequently, parents will be expected to remain the designated spectator areas.

During certain meets, the team area may be restricted to competitors only and family members will be encouraged to sit in an adjacent section. Again, consistent with the need to establish a focused, distraction free environment for the swimmers, parents who wish to occasionally watch the workouts will be requested to do so from under the building eaves or in the grassy areas surrounding the pools.

The presence of a parent at the training sessions on a regular basis is generally counterproductive to the progress of the swimmer. PHX policy requires that the folding chairs be restricted to the meeting rooms.
