Lettering Requirements & Qualifying Times

An athlete must achieve these requirements

Attendance – Athletes are expected to be at practice, this does not apply to club swimmers/divers. Excessive absences will not be tolerated. Athletes must attend all meets assigned. Conflicts in attendance – i.e., medical/dentist appointment, illness, religious, club sport, prescheduled activity, will not jeopardize lettering opportunities provided that ample communication is made in advance.
Participation – Athletes are expected to put forth their best effort at practices, during training, and in all events. Horseplay will not be tolerated at practices or meets.
Behavior– Athletes are expected to be respectful at all times towards teammates, competitors, coaches, referees, officials, aquatic center staff, and spectators. Additionally, swimmers and divers are expected to uphold Cobb County, GHSA, and NFHS athletic standards.
