Welcome to PIPELINE SWIMMING

We are happy you have decided to join our program.  PIPELINE’s mantra You can swim fast and have fun!!! All while learning to love the sport. Attached is the team paperwork I will need back to build the account online / in our billing tool QuickBooks.

[email protected]

Upon submission of completed paperwork I can finalize the registration process and get your child into their practice schedule.  All this information will help you understand how we communicate with the team. 

We have 3 modes of communication.

  1. Website www.pipelineswimming.com
  2. On Deck which is a free app that you and your spouse and child can share a login to so you can see any updates or changes on a daily basis.
  3. Band – This is another free app for the kids on the competitive track for additional training information.

The following links are for you to follow and register with our governing body USA swimming.

Communications

Download the OnDeck app after you receive the welcome email from PIPELINE swimming, and you have created your username and password.  This is one way PIPELINE will communicate with the team in case of practice adjustments.  We will NOT send an email or text message. This app is a free app on your phone so swimmers and parents can login to the same app on each phone for all to stay informed. Once we have you in our system, the OnDeck app will be how we communicate any changes. 

Safety Requirement 

If your swimmer is 12 years old or older, the athlete and parent will need to take the Safe Sport online class.  This is a required class for everyone. Keep in mind all these types of classes are for your child’s safety, helping them understand boundaries between athletes and authority figures.  

Most asked questions

  1. Can I get the coaches number?  Please only contact. 
    1. Coach Patrick – 941-228-9777 cell text is best for me.
    2. Coach Piper – [email protected] is the best way to reach her.

We do not give out the other coach’s info since most of them have full-time jobs and we don’t want them to feel like they need to work to much.  Like your swimmers is the coaches need the down time from the pool.

  1. How do my kids move up?  At the end of each month the coaches do a move up set for each group and this lets us know which child is ready for more work.  We will then reach out to you, the parents, and see if this is something you would like.  This will mean a change in practice times and days in most cases.  
  2. What meets do I go to and how do we sign up?   
    1. The schedule is on our website, and you can see the list of meets.  
    2. You can always text coach Patrick or Coach Piper about which meets to attend. 
  3. How do I get PIPELINE Gear? 
    1. Hoodies, caps, T-shirts and more
  4. What equipment do my children need? You can get this from our website or by emailing coach Piper so we can get the things you need to the pool.  Once they are at the pool you will be charged on the card we have on file for you.
    1. Each swimmer is required to have a swim bag with all the gear for practice
      1. Cap, goggles, kickboard, pullbouy, fins, water bottle and mesh bag.
