    Sportsmanship is a huge part of our team. We want the Wahoos to be competitive AND celebrate everyone’s individual success, both among fellow Wahoos and competing teams. We encourage our swimmers to:

    • Wish their competitors good luck
    • Wait in the water until the last swimmer in the heat arrives at the wall
    • Congratulate fellow competitors at the end of a race
    • Mark their bodies only with writing that is swimming related and positive in nature (“Go Wahoos!” is positive whereas “Eat my bubbles!” is not)
    • Be gracious hosts at home meets and well-behaved guests when away
