Heights Code of Conduct

Heights promotes a safe, respectful and inclusive environment for all of its members and staff. No verbal or physical harassment of any kind will be tolerated, as well as any conduct that would jeopardize one’s own safety and/or the safety of others. Individuals who display this type of conduct will be asked to leave the pool area. Heights is a member of ALPS and therefore its code of conduct applies to all member pools as well as their athletes, parents, coaches, officials and spectators for events at home or away meets.
