Dear Parents/Guardians

Please ensure that your swimmer/s do not leave their possessions in a changing cubicle – but use the lockers provided. We do understand reluctance to use the lockers as the charge is £0.20 non-refundable.   However, possessions can be placed into the lockers without actually locking and paying the £0.20.

There has been a particular problem tonight as several of the senior squad members were exceptionally late on poolside and have claimed the reason they were so late is that there were no lockers available to use.

The Club’s code of conduct is copied below with the relevant paragraphs highlighted.    Swimmers must be poolside at the start of the training session to ensure that a full warm up is undertaken.   Failure to undertake a complete warm up puts the swimmer at risk of injury.

 
Please note that in future any swimmer arriving poolside 10 minutes late will be refused entry and will NOT be able to swim.

Regards
Beacon Swimming Club

If the coach feels it necessary a swimmer may be asked to leave the pool at any time during the session.  If a parent is unavailable to take charge of the swimmer they will be asked to sit poolside until collected

Any disputes within the club will be discussed in private at committee level. A comments form can be obtained from any poolside helper or committee member.

* This rule reflects the need for adequate warm up in a training session.  If a swimmer is late and misses out on the warm up they may put themselves at risk of injury which the Club is anxious to avoid.
