Swimmer and Parent Expectation 

  • Since we have a limited number of pool days, every practice is important! An excused absence from school is an excused absence from practice. Unexcused absences will be watched closely. After 3 unexcused absences, the coach may determine whether suspension from the team is required. 
  • There is no transportation provided to or from the pool. It is the responsibility of the parent to arrange transportation. All swimmers must be picked up from SHS before 7:10 AM. After two late pickups, the swimmer may be suspended from the team. DO NOT PARK IN THE FRONT PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OF THE POOL. THEY ARE RESERVED FOR SHS TEACHERS. Your child may be suspended from the team if the person responsible for transportation cannot abide by this rule. 

Students will be responsible for purchasing their own team swimsuit and swim cap from Hunt Pools in Murfreesboro. Require gear: suit, cap, and goggles. 

  • Sizing for swimsuits will need to be completed no later than October 22, 2023, at Hunt Pools & Swim located at 220 West Northfield Boulevard, Murfreesboro, TN 37219. If you do not order your suit before October 22, your swimmer will not have swimsuits for the first competition.
