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 am getting that impression from my swimmers, but showing up almost 45 minutes late for an hour and a half practice is sort of ridiculous, no?
I think there are very few people for whom masters swimming is really and truly the number one thing in their life. For me, though I enjoy swimming, family and work definitely come first. If you can't get to practice because your kid's game went into overtime or you had a late meeting at work, what are you going to do? If life intrudes, I say be grateful they think enough of their time and yours to show up at all.
