Swimming and Diving Prerequisites:
Swimmers:
Participation in the swim team should not be confused with
beginning swim lessons. Swim team coaches and other pool staff
are available to provide beginning swim lessons for younger
children. While children as young as 4 years of age may be a
member of the team, a child must be "water ready" and willing to
swim. The head swimming coach will decide if a young child has
the necessary skills to participate in team practices, meets and
activities. The Hartland swim coaches are known for their
competitive swimming abilities and coaching for swimmers on
technique, conditioning and overall performance.
Divers:
Participation in the dive team may include children and
teen-agers who are interested in developing their diving talents.
While children as young as 4 years of age may be a member of the
dive team, a child must be "water ready", willing to swim and
jump off the diving board into deep water. The head diving
coach will decide if a young child has the necessary skills to
participate in team practices, meets and activities. In
general, a diver must be able to qualify as a member of the swim
team and have sufficient body control required to complete the
four elementary required dives.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Parents are
required to work three meets, participate on one
committee, and work CKSC meet. All swimmers and
drivers are strongly encouraged to
participate at conference. If you cannot work the conference
meet, please notify Jean Ezell, by the 1st
swim meet so that alternate work duties can be assigned to you
during the swim season. When you sign your application, indicate
on the entry form those dates you will not be available.
Also indicate those jobs you would prefer. Choose a committee
assignment. Every effort will be made to match preferences with

Failure to find a replacement will result in a $50 fine per event

been paid. THIS WILL BE ENFORCED.
You may decline to work
