Policies
Tidal Waves Behavior Policy
Parents are responsible for their swimmer(s) behavior at practices, Tidal Waves social functions, and swim meets. No child under the age of 12 is to be unsupervised before or after practice, or before/during/after swim meets. Coaches and Tidal Waves Board members are performing other duties and are not responsible for swimmers' actions at these times.
If a behavior incident occurs, these steps should be followed:
The Coaches and the Tidal Wave Board will not tolerate any actions, behavior or language that is not reflective of good sportsmanship and kindness to others.
GRAL Weather Policy
At the first sound of thunder or sighting of lightning, the Pool and Deck must be cleared of people and secured. It is the responsibility of the Meet Director and Pool Management to see that this is done. The Meet Director shall issue instructions for that pool's weather safety procedure. In order to compete in the current season, each club shall file with the Executive Committee by the GRAL May meeting a weather safety procedure for their club. Cancellations/postponements are to be decided by the Parent Rep from each team, the Pool Management, and the Meet Director after a minimum 30 minute delay. At the last sighting of lighting or thunder, a 30-minute waiting period is to be enforced before swimmers may re-enter the water. The League encourages teams to wait out the storm delay and finish the meet. It is easier to wait it out with all officials and workers in place than to schedule another night to come back. Information on storms in the area and the remaining time necessary to complete the meet will be taken into consideration. If a swimmer must leave, notify the coach before doing so. Meets must be rescheduled at the earliest possible date acceptable to all teams. If there are questions, contact a GRAL officer before leaving the pool. Meets must be completed in the scheduled sequence to avoid giving an unfair advantage to any team. In the event of lightning or thunder, as described above, all swimmers and observers will be directed to go to their cars and wait. Notification of delay, rescheduling or resuming of the meet will be made over the PA system as soon as possible.
