FAQS:
MEMBERSHIP FAQS
- Do we have to be on the team all year?
Members pay for the entire short course season (September - March), long course season (April - July) or both. The team takes an annual break in August. - If we leave, is our spot secure for when we return?
No. The team is too big and each spot is valuable. - Do we have to commit to going to every practice?
No. There is no attendance policy, but the more you come, the better you get. Also, swimmers who keep up with their training will have less injury. We will not prorate or refund for practices that you miss. - Are swim meets required?
Yes. Swimmers should ideally go to one meet per month and our minimum requirement is to attend 3 meets per season (3 meets between Sept. and end of March and 3 meets between April and end of July). - Do you accept cash?
Yes. The only coach you are allowed to give cash to is Coach Ben. Coach Ben does not keep a receipt book, so please double check your account 7 days after giving payment to Ben to ensure your payment was recorded. - Are Gold swimmers allowed to compete?
Yes. All swimmers on SRST are full USA Swimming Members and allowed to compete. In fact, we encourage it! - Do coaches sign the swimmers up for the swim meets?
No. All families are in 100% control of their own meet entries. If you want advice from your coach as to what events might be most appropriate, please ask your direct coach. The learning curve for swim meets is pretty big. We have a wealth of info related to swim meets that you should begin to familiarize yourself with ASAP. Go to Team Info/Swim Meet Info: DIRECT LINK CLICK HERE. - Is there a minimum skill requirement to join the team?
Yes. Swimmers must be able to swim 2 lengths in a 25 yard pool (no stopping allowed) with both Freestyle and Backstroke. For Freestyle, the swimmer must have good side breathing technique. For both Freestyle and Backstroke, the swimmer must have a good horizontal body position (in other words, the legs cannot be sinking). - Are you supportive of high school swimming?
Yes. We encourage swimmers to participate on their high school swim team. Our preferred choice is to have the swimmers come in 3 times or more per week to swim with their SRST coach during the high school swim season and also participate in SRST meets. - Can parents watch practice?
Yes. Feel free. Remember that improvement in swimming happens over weeks, months and years. If you watch practice every day you might feel frustrated because the process is slow. Sometimes it's best to come in every couple of months or if you are at the pool daily, read a book.
