CVST's Senior Attendance Policies
(From The CVST Team Handbook)
SENIOR I & 2 - ATTENDANCE POLICY
In order to be eligible to participate in a senior level meet, team trip, USA Swimming/Florida Swimming/CVST training camp, etc., a swimmer in the Senior 1 practice group, must have an average swim practice attendance of 88% or better for the current season or the current year’s attendance. A swimmer in the Senior 2 practice group must have an average swim practice attendance of 82% or better for the current season or the current year’s attendance. This percentage will be taken from all senior practices including those held on holidays, school breaks, selected meets and other CVST related functions (i.e. working Friday Night at the Races) as announced by the Coaching Staff.
Senior level meets include, but are not limited to, any meet the senior team travels to as a group, Florida Swimming Senior Championships, Sectionals, Zone Championships, US Open, Senior Nationals and any other meet so named by the Coaching Staff.
Appeals to a swimmer's eligibility will be reviewed on an individual basis with the Head Coach and that individual.
MEET POLICY FOR HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMERS
High School swimmers will be allowed to swim in meets, as long as they meet the following practice attendance requirements.
High School swimmers must make four (4) practices each week, at CVST, to be eligible to participate in the CVST/USA Swimming Meets, Trips, Camps, etc. They may come to the morning practice before school and on Saturdays. If the High School has morning practices in lieu of afternoon practice, or if High School Coaches allow swimmers to come to CVST practices instead of High School practices, the swimmer may then attend the evening practice at CVST. Swimmers may not attend an afternoon High School practice and then the evening CVST practice, as they will be tired and not get out of the practice what is needed, they also need this time to keep grades up.
Swimmers are responsible to maintain their 100% attendance (4 practices each week) up to the first day of the meet they have entered. If the attendance falls below 100%, the swimmer will not be permitted to swim in the meet and that swimmer will be responsible for all entry fees incurred by entering the meet.
The four practices per week is the minimum and all High School swimmers are encouraged to make as many CVST practices as possible.
SCHOOL YEAR MORNING PRACTICE POLICY
Swimmers wishing to attend the Morning Practices (Swimming or Weights) are welcome to do so as long as the following criteria are met.
1. Each swimmer must receive approval from the Head Coach prior to attending a morning practice.
2. Swimmers Must notify the Head Coach, by 8:00pm, via telephone (no e-mail or text) the evening prior to the practice if
