Floyd E. Kellam High School 
Swimming and Diving Team 
Policies and Expectations 
 
Practice attendance policy 
Athletes are invited and expected to attend all scheduled practice 
times. 
 
Attendance at practice directly relates to swimming in a meet.  Swimmers who 
fail to come to three practices without prior approval will be removed from 
the roster. 
 
Please note:  We have a number of swimmers who swim on club teams year 
round.  These swimmers are required to come to practice at least one time 
per week, in addition to participating in meets.  I am very firm about this 
rule.  Please see me if you have questions. 
 
Practice Schedule 
We are fortunate to be able to use the city recreation centers for practice 
and meets.  
We swim at both the Princess Anne Recreation Center and the Seatack 
Recreation Center. 
A monthly calendar is made available to each athlete, and the practice and 
meet schedules are posted on the team website:

Every Monday, Athletes will receive a Fridge Sheet that details the 
week¡¦s 
activities. The Fridge Sheet provides communication between the coach 
and 
athletes, as well as the coach and parents.  The fridge sheet will also be 
posted on the website.

approved by a parent as long as the athlete has filled out the driving 
permission form.

team meeting.

- An athlete will swim the events he/she is placed in for the good of 
the team.  The only exception to this requirement will be personal contact 
between me and the athlete¡¦s year round coach or parent in regard to 
medical 
situations, which would indicate some problem. 
- Athletes will respect themselves, their team mates, and their coach 
- Bring water or Gatorade.  Swim meets are not the time for junk food.
