Communication

We have several means in place for the exchange of information between parents, swimmers and coaches. Please avoid talking to the coaches during practice; their priority is to your children.

Bulletin Board

The Team Bulletin Board at the pool is an up-to-date source of information. Parents and swimmers should check this bulletin board daily. All Line-ups and notices will be posted on the bulletin board. If you would like for something to be posted on the bulletin board, please see Nancy Kotsiras or put it in the bulletin board folder.  Please do not put things on the board without approval. 

Web Site

The pool’s website, www.tanterratarpons.org has a variety of information related to the Team. It is maintained on a regular basis.

E-mail

A minimum of one parent from each family should (but all parents/guardians are encouraged to) subscribe to one or both of the Tanterra Swim and Dive Team email groups. These distribution lists allow for quick and easy dissemination of important team information via email which is our primary form of communication. To subscribe, simply go to the website at www.tanterratarpons.org and enter your email.  If your child is on both the Swim Team and The Dive Team please subscribe for both. 

Family Folders

Each Team family has a folder outside of the pool office and below the bulletin board where ribbons, notices, and other material will be put. Please check your folder often.

Coaches’ Folder

The Coaches’ folder is also located with the family folders. Any notes for the coaches can be left in here. It is checked several times daily. This is also the place to leave notes regarding swimmers attendance. If any swimmer is going to be unavailable for any meet, for any reason, the coaches must be notified in writing. You may use the vacation form or write a note. When writing the note, please clearly indicate which meets the swimmer will or will not miss. For example: “John is gone until Saturday” does not make it clear whether or not John will be available to swim in the meet on Saturday.
