Dear Piranhas,

I hate to send this e-mail out but we need your help.  We are still getting complaints of bullying at practice.  At the meets swimmers are not listening to the parents at the ready bench or under the tents.  The coaches tried punishing with a tougher practice after the meet.  Now unfortunately the swimmers have not taken to heart the seriousness of their actions and the coaches are stepping up the punishment. From now on anyone they here about being disrespectful to any adult or swimmer will be suspended from practice for one week.  This includes the Saturday meet that follows that practice.   The swim team board backs up their decision.  Summer league swim season is to be a time of fun for everyone involved.  This type of behavior brings down the spirit of the team and will not be tolerated.  Help us put a stop to bullying.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Haag, President
