    SWIMMING SAFETY GUIDELINES
    High School
    This school strives to protect each student from possible injury while engaging in school activities. The guidelines
    and/or practices identified below have been established for this activity in order to protect the student and others
    from injury and/or illness. Participants and their parents should recognize that conditioning, nutrition, proper
    techniques, safety procedures, and well fitting equipment are important aspects of this training program. Each
    participant is expected to follow the directions/standards of the coach.
    Travel to and from off-campus facilities shall be in accordance with the directions of the activity coach.
    Guidelines are as follows:
    1. Make certain that you wear all equipment that is issued by the coach. Advise the coach of any poorly
    fitted or defective equipment.
    2. Advise the coach if you are ill or have any prolonged symptoms of illness.
    3. Advise the coach if you have been injured.
    4. Engage in warm-up activities prior to strenuous participation.
    5. Be alert of any physical hazards in the locker room or in or around the participation area. Advise
    coach of any hazard.
    6. Know the location of rescue equipment in the pool area.
    7. Never enter the water without the coach (or the designated lifeguard) in pool area.
    8. Check for clear water before diving; and when diving off the blocks, make it a shallow dive. Only
    divers who have been taught basic diving skills and are under the supervision of a coach will be
    permitted to dive.
    9. Do not run while on the pool deck.
    The above information has been explained to me and I understand the list of rules and procedures. I also
    understand the necessity of using the proper techniques while participating in the swimming program.
    1) I am aware that diving is a high-risk sport and that practicing or competing in diving will be a dangerous
    activity involving many risks of injury.
