LOCKER ROOM REMINDERS

As we continue the 2024-2025 AGUA season, we want to remind our athletes of locker room policies and best practices:

• Locker rooms are shared spaces at both BPC & UES. All AGUA swimmers should speak and behave in alignment with our team values of respect, accountability and discipline.
• There are absolutely no photos or videos permitted to be taken inside the locker rooms, both on campus and during travel meets. 
• Swimmers should lock their belongings in a locker during practice. 
• Only swimmers who are members of Asphalt Green are permitted to use the member locker rooms at Asphalt Green. There are no exceptions.
