Providing swimming education
appropriate for parents is an important part of the club's mission.
The club has both a lending library and a Parents Education
Program. There is also lots of material on the web. Finally,
if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask other parents.
Someone will likely know the answer.
The
SYAC Parents Education Program exists to:
- Improve parents understanding of their
child’s sport
- Communicate parental roles and
responsibilities
- Provide a regular forum for
questions
- Build the community of SYAC
parents
Topics cover the needs of parents new to the
team, parents new to the sport, and even parents with swimming and
athletic backgrounds. Future dates and topics are found on the
bulletin board at the pool and on the
Events
calender on the web site.
Library
The club has
swimming related material that can be checked out by parents
and swimmers. Call or e-mail the team librarian to arrange for
pickup.
Some of the library items are
owned by the club and some are individually owned. We thank the
team families who have graciously agreed to loan items through the
club. If you have any material that you are interested in loaning
or donating to the club, contact the team librarian.

Below is information for new and existing
parents culled from various swimming archives. The USA Swimming
Parents site
is also a good source of information. If you find something else of
interest or have questions please let us know.
