Responsibility for my actions

Listen to the coaches and officials and ask questions when we do not understand
Will be responsible for our actions at the pool and away from the pool that have an effect on other swimmers and / or the club

Concerns related to conduct are rare, but if concerns arise we have a clear process of steps to follow:

3) Raise the concern with the club president

Any serious issues are dealt with by the club discipline committee (head coach, club president, club vice-president)

The Richmond Kigoos Swim Club reserves the right to suspend the participation of any athlete, including but not limited to a violation of this code.
