Aquajets has a Three Strike Policy with regard to violations of the Aquajets’ Code of Conduct.  The following consequences will be enforced by the Head Coach and Board of Directors:
 
1st Strike: The lead coach for the swimmer’s group will talk to the swimmer about their behavior and  provide them with their first warning. The coach will also send the swimmer’s parent(s) an email informing  them of the situation;
2nd Strike: If the behavior continues, the swimmer’s lead group coach will set up a meeting with the  swimmer and their parent(s) to discuss the behavior and provide them with their second warning. At this  time, the swimmer will be required to meet with our team's Confidence Coach, Brooks Wilkening, before  returning to practice.
3rd Strike: The swimmer’s lead group coach, the Head Coach, and a Board member will have a meeting  with the swimmer and their parent(s). At this time, dismissal from the team will be discussed.
