[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never tell clubs with whom you work on a side. Don’t ask for permission if it’s a private coach, it’s none of their business. Her best times will be achieved closer to March. [/quote]

This, we did ask our coach for a suggestion and they gave us one but you don't need their permission.[/quote]

Our parent code of conduct states: To obtain consent from the Head Coach prior to enrolling my child/swimmer in any additional competitive swim training during the **** ***** Club season.[/quote]

Its gross overreaching because club wants you to take lessons from their coaches on a side. Its only prohibited by USA Swimming to compete on 2 teams at the same time but not train by yourself during your free time with an adult supervising the minor under 12 yo. Coaches train their own children outside clubs all the time. Our former club had the same clause, and  every single fast swimmer had a parent-former swimmer or a private coach on a side. A mega club wouldn’t care anyway unless you make a silly step to ask for a permission.
