GRAL Policies
For more details, please refer to the GRAL Handbook.
Code of Conduct
Good sportsmanship is of primary importance. Respectful behavior on the part of swimmers, coaches, and parents should be displayed at all times and places. Club membership is both an honor and a responsibility and unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated.
- The Coach is responsible for the behavior of his/her club.
- The Board Representative, or Parent Representative in his/her absence, is responsible for the behavior of the coaches and club parents.
- The Referee has the authority to suspend a swim meet for unsportsmanlike behavior.
Any individual who cannot uphold the standards of good behavior may be denied further participation in league activities.
Remember, this swim league exists for the sport of swimming and the enjoyment of our children. Please strive as parents, coaches, and swimmers to focus on this fact and encourage an enjoyable experience for all.
Weather
At the first sound of thunder, or sight of lightning, the pool and deck must be cleared of people and secured. It is the responsibility of the Meet Director, the Parent Representative, and Pool Management to ensure that this is done. The home club is responsible for issuing instructions for the pool's weather safety procedure.
