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!

If our coach started laying down rules due to the perceived transgressions of one or two, that would not go down well at all. We are all grown up adults and we are doing something that very few are willing to do by throwing ourselves into a pool and swiming hard. In my book, that by itself is enough to allow the extra latitude and respect that makes Masters such a fun choice and not a chore.

Rob, I definitely agree. At this point I have put a "self-start" section into practice for the late-comers. The self-start area tells them what to do for warm-up(s). It has worked this past week very well, and haven't gotten any complaints yet which is a good thing!
