Sideburn Run Swim & Dive Team

Shark Shiver...It's April and the start of our summer swim season is only a little more than 7 weeks away!

I'm sending this out to our email list from both last year and this year.

For those who have signed up for 2026, welcome aboard!

For everyone else, this is…

Shark Shiver...Traditionally, we have done the Annual Swim & Dive Awards Banquet on the Saturday evening after Swim Divisionals. This year, that would've been 19 July.

Shiver...The Swim & Dive Reps strive to create a positive team culture free of harmful behaviors.  At the start of last season, we adapted the model anti-bullying policy provided by USA Swimming/SafeSport for our own purposes at Sideburn Run.

We ask that parents read through this Action Plan to Address Bullying.

…

Shiver...While SafeSport training is mandatory for team reps and coaches, it is optional for parents and athletes.

The Northern Virginia Swim League asks that Team Reps forward the link below to parents should they or their athletes be interested in any optional training

The Reps...

Shark Shiver...For those of you who were Swim and Dive in 2024, there will be no changes to the Volunteer Program.  The Reps believe it worked exceptionally well last year and hope to continue to build on the success we had in getting a large number of households engaged in…
