Top Tips for Swim Parents

Swimming Parent Expectations & Guide

​

Parent Expectations

During Training:

Parents, please drop off your child or sit near the pool deck without engaging unless necessary. Post-session conversations should be brief, focusing on essential matters, ensuring coaches can attend to all swimmers. For swim-related queries, contact your coach via email or TeamApp. General inquiries can be directed to enquiry@yarraplentysc.com.au.


Volunteering at Meets:

At competitions, parent volunteers for timekeeping are needed. No experience is necessary, and the Competitions Coordinator will create a roster. Questions about volunteering can be directed to competitions@yarraplentysc.com.au.
