TEAM PHILOSOPHY
Byrd Spring Swim Team is designed to convey an understanding and appreciation for the fundamental skills involved in swimming, while providing a competitive atmosphere. We stress sportsmanship, respect, participation, self-discipline, and most of all…FUN and FRIENDSHIP!
GROUPS
COMMUNICATION … Is key!
We try very hard to make sure all of our swim families are aware of everything that is happening during the swim season. Please note that all information of interest regarding swim team will be distributed via one or more of the following channels: the team Email List and the Byrd Spring Bull Sharks Facebook Page. Please ask to join our Byrd Spring Bull Sharks Facebook page so you will receive new information. Swim Team Email List - Swim team parents will automatically be enrolled in the Swim Team Email List after filling out all required paperwork for swim team. The team representative will regularly use this list to communicate important information about team events. It is especially useful for announcing late-breaking news such as weather related cancellations. Please be diligent and read through ALL emails regarding swim team. Most of the time, any questions that parents may have regarding a meet or practice is discussed in the email. Bull Sharks Facebook - Our Byrd Spring Bull Shark Facebook page is a great way to stay connected to your swim team family during the season and even during off season! Many parents post photos of the meet, talk about upcoming events, weather concerns for the meet. This is a private group and only those on the team have access to its contents. The best way for parents to communicate with the coaches is to speak with them before or after practice. If it is not an immediate need, please do not interrupt the coaches during practice, as this takes away from our swimmers’ instructional time. Parents may also contact coaches via email or their cell phone. We promise that your swim team experience will be more fun when you know and understand what is happening!
