PASA Membership Conduct

September 12, 2007

If a swimmer or parent from another team approaches you about joining PASA, it is important that you know....

Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics, now entering our fifth year, has experienced a great deal of growth and prosperity since our inception. In that time frame we have achieved a great deal in the competition pool and with that, drawn more attention to how that success has been achieved. We are not only judged by our swimmers performance in and out of the water, but also by how our parents and coaches conduct themselves on the pool deck.
