Our coaches will make the rounds at many meets and do a series of clinics at the different clubs, but we can’t be everywhere. These Tuesday night meets are a great way for all members get involved in building our program. USA Swimming has a Code of Conduct in place and a paraphrased version of Article 304.3.13 states that no coach, owner, officer, volunteer, representative, or employee of a USA club may not recruit or encourage a swimmer of an existing USA club to become part of the acting parties affiliated club. Basically we cannot talk to another USA swimmer nor can anyone talk to RSA swimmers about being on a different team. If you suspect another area coach has had improper contact with one of our swimmers you need to notify a RSA coach immediately. This could include verbal and/or printed information about another club. Coach Brian and Coach Dan have come up with what we think is a great brochure about all the opportunities RSA has to offer. If you would like some to pass out at summer practices or at meets, please give Brian a call at 859-4881 or drop him an email bgill@swimrsa.org and he will set you up!
