Parent Responsibilities

Any violation of the USA Swimming Code of Conduct is a violation of the BDSC code of conduct

Code of Conduct

The Blue Devil Swim Club was established to support participation in youth athletics as well as a deep respect for the traditions of teamwork, life-long learning and athletic activity.

We feel as a club that it is important that all our members, Swimmers, Staff and Parents, promote BDSC’s mission through positive behavior and conduct.

The Disciplinary Code applies to all members, Swimmers, Staff and Parent behavior occurring during or at an activity or function that is associated with the Blue Devil Swim Club including but not limited to: swim practice, swim meets, team trips, team outings, or individual group outings and in some cases, objectionable behavior by members of Blue Devil Swim Club outside of club activities.
