Swim Parent Role and Responsibilities
At KING, we recognize the vital role parents play in supporting both their child's growth and the team's pursuit of excellence. As part of the "Support Triangle" - where swimmers swim, coaches coach, and parents parent - your contributions are invaluable. To make a positive impact, it is important to understand how best to support your child while respecting everyone's role. This guide will walk you through ways to support your child's development while honoring the boundaries that allow each member of the triad to fulfill their responsibilities. By embracing your role, you can help foster a collaborative environment of support where every swimmer can achieve their full potential.
KING Parent Code of Conduct
Our mission is to inspire and enable our members to achieve excellence in swimming and in life, guided by our Five Pillars of Excellence. To be part of our community, coaches, staff, athletes, and family members must adhere to expectations and codes of conduct. At the time of registration, athletes, parents/guardians, and chaperons express their agreement to follow all of KING Aquatic Club policies and procedures.
