Message from the President

Dear Beaver Family,

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to another incredible season with our team. Whether you are a returning member or joining us for the first time, you are now part of a community built on dedication, teamwork, and a shared love for the water.

Our mission goes beyond winning races — we strive to help every swimmer grow in skill, confidence, and character. Each practice, meet, and team event is an opportunity to challenge yourself, support your teammates, and celebrate progress, both big and small.

This season, I encourage you to embrace every moment — the early mornings, the tough sets, the cheers from the stands, and the friendships that will last long after the final lap. Together, we will create memories, achieve goals, and continue the proud tradition of excellence that defines our team.

Thank you for your commitment, your energy, and your belief in what we can accomplish together. Let’s make this season our best yet!

GO BEAVERS!

Swimmer Participation Responsibilities

Establish high goals and actively train to achieve them. Winning is not as important as doing your best and having fun.

●Attend practice on a regular basis.

●Support your coaches and their training program.

●Encourage your Teammates.

●Be part of your team by participating in social activities and outings. You will have a lot of fun and make new friends.

All swimmers should be able to swim one length of a 25-yard-long pool unaided by the end of the second week of practice with the exception of the 6 & under swimmers.

Swimmers are divided into the following age groups: 4 - 8; 9 - 12; 13 - 18. The age groups are further divided by gender (boys and girls). Age groups are determined by the swimmers’ age from four to eighteen. Coaches may shift swimmers practice groups as the season progresses.

2026 Season Practice Times

Carmichael Beavers Parent / Coach Relationship

It is important that you trust the ability and judgment of the coaching staff and that you exhibit that trust and support in front of your children. We all make mistakes, so give the coaching staff the benefit of the doubt if it appears they misjudge from time to time.

Parents are encouraged to observe all workouts. However, please stay clear of the deck area while swimmers are in the pool. You may be hurting more than helping if you try to encourage your swimmer while he or she is practicing . . . that is the coach's job. If for some reason you must communicate with your child, please contact the coach or assistant coach.

If you feel that your swimmer is not receiving all that he or she should in a workout or is having some sort of difficulty which is not being resolved, talk to the coach privately after the practice, or arrange some mutually convenient time.

Coaching Responsibilities

The coaches shall model positive leadership and sportsmanship to the Carmichael Beavers and attempt to foster these qualities in the team members.

Beaver Coaches should provide instruction in all aspects of competitive swimming and assist swimmers in developing and working towards personal goals, manage practices to foster learning and a safe environment for all participants.

Disciplinary Guidelines

The purpose of these guidelines is to insure everyone has the potential to be a “WINNER”.

Swimmers are expected to follow the pool deck rules and use language and behave in a manner which is inclusive and respectful towards teammates, coaches, opposing team members, parents and meet officials.

If Swimmers do not meet the outlined expectations, depending on the level of severity, Coaches and/or Board President will discuss next steps with the Swimmers and Parents/Guardians.

If a Swimmer’s behavior is such that it risks the safety of themselves or others, the swimmer will be asked to leave the pool deck immediately until the incident is resolved.
