Club Rules

All Swimmers of the club must:

• be punctual, changed and ready to swim for the start of the training session. Late comers should apologise to the coach and ask permission to join the session. Permission to swim may be refused by the person in charge*. 
• listen and follow instructions carefully.
• participate fully in the training schedule prepared.
• must tell the coach if they are feeling unwell during the session.
• respect all coaches, teachers and parents involved in the session. Swimmers can also expect coaches and teachers to show them consideration as individuals and to observe their ASA code of Conduct.
• not put themselves or other members in danger by observing normal rules poolside behaviour i.e. no running, jumping, horse play etc.
• omply with the codes, rules and laws within the guidelines set out by the ASA (available at www.britishswimming.org).
• treat other members, competitors and teams with respect, in victory and defeat.

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 comittee level.  A comments form can be ibtained 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.
