Do team members have to compete?
It is not required that team members compete in every competition; but swimmers are encouraged to compete in as many meets as possible. In addition, it is required that a team member compete in at least one competition per season in order to rejoin the team in the following season. While the team is meant to be fun and good exercise, it is not fair to those swimmers who are there to practice for competition to have swim time and lane time taken up by swimmers who are only there for fun.
