We just got done with today's practice and I have to say that we had more late swimmers today than we have had so far this year! I'm curious to see what everyone's policy (if any) you or your team have with showing up on time? I definitely don't want to be a harda$$, but I want people to show up on time as well!
Look forward to the comments!

I REALLY would have a hard time with a team with rigid rules (in general). My preference is that we are all adults with relatively complicated lives and schedules. It isn't so easy to weave a job, a commute, family, and swimming workouts together.
I'm fortunate - my team has plenty of lanes - most of the time it is just two per lane. I haven't circle swum in two years. My coach is excellent - and he is happy when we show up. He will push us. He harrasses us when he doesn't think we are putting the proper effort into the workout. But in the end - it is Masters swimming!
