Weather Policies
If there is lightning swimmers must get out of
the pool. The coach, Civic Center staff or both make the call on when swimmers
need out of the pool.
If the storm continues and they are not able to
get back in the pool practice will be canceled. If this happens a coach will
stay at the Civic Center until all swimmers are picked up or until the normal
practice time is over, whichever comes first.
Severe Weather - Snow/Ice
If school is canceled due to weather practice
is canceled.
Swim meets are usually never canceled. Yes -
except for the time the pool was hit by a tornado ~ there is always an
exception to the rule. Please watch the weather and make the proper
arrangements for your safety and driving time.
If a meet is canceled or the time set back the
coaches will call all swimmers. Please make sure we have a current cell
phone number.
Emergency Policies
Michelle Hanson, SBD Safety Director,
reminded me that all parents should be made aware of SBD's plan in case of
an emergency.
In case an incident arises concerning the
safety of the swimmers or the pool being closed following is the chain of
events that will happen.
The authorities, the Civic Center staff or
the coaches will contact Michelle or myself. At that time we will do the
following:
If before school is dismissed
- All Sullivan schools will be called and
an announcement made over the intercom
- All out of town swimmers the current
phone number on file will be called
- For swimmers under the age of 8 all
efforts will be made to also notify the parents via phone
- If possible the information will be
posted on the front of the web-site
If the incident occurs during practice
- First priority the coaches will follow
the best measures for safety of the swimmers
- Second they will contact Michelle or I
who will proceed to contact parents via phones
- The coaches will stay will all swimmers
until they are picked up
- An e-mail will be sent after the incident
to let parents know the current status of the
situation
or give the all clear for the next day's practice
- The notice will also be posted on the
web-site as soon as possible
All board members have a phone list and we
will utilize them to help make calls to all members.
If you have any questions please do not
hesitate to contact Michelle Hanson at 728-8816.
