Greene Hills Gators

Parent and Swimmer Commitment


Welcome to the Greene Hills Gators Swim Team.   The coaching staff puts many hours in to make this the quality program it has become.  We have two points of emphasis this season:

1)      INCENT SWIMMERS TO PARTICIPATE IN AS MANY SWIM MEETS AND PRACTICES AS POSSIBLE WITH SPECIAL RECOGNITION.

2)      REQUIRE ALL SWIMMERS/PARENTS TO NOTIFY COACHES OF ABSENCES FROM SWIM MEETS BY THE THURSDAY PRACTICE BEFORE THE SWIM MEET.

 

We know it is difficult to attend all swim meets with summer vacations and camps.  However, as GHG becomes more competitive within the Jefferson Swim League – attendance becomes critical in competing against larger teams.  While the  Division II meets are the ones that count in the league standings, since there is gold & silver scoring, it is important for the team to have as many swimmers as possible at the first non-division meet.  This allows the team to get a good balance of swimmers with gold times to maximize the ability to score points for both gold and silver times in the first Division II meet. 

The past few seasons there has been deterioration in communicating to the coaches that a swimmer will miss a swim meet.  We have had messages left the afternoon of a swim meet that a swimmer will miss that nights meet with no explanation.  The coaches plan the events the weekend before a meet and need to know when a swimmer will miss a meet. 

BY SWIMMING WITH THE GREENE HILLS GATORS, YOU COMMIT TO NOFITY THE COACHES THE THURSDAY BEFORE A MEET IF THE MEET WILL BE MISSED (or as soon as possible in the event of an emergency).
