Section 3 - Club Rules
CLUB TRIPS
Written permission must be obtained for un-accompanied
swimmers.
On all away trips, at least one male and one female team manager/coach,
depending on the ages and numbers travelling, must accompany swimmers. The team managers are responsible for
ensuring that swimmers behave correctly at all times.
Team managers must submit club trip reports to the Club
Secretary within 14 days.
Swimmers should behave in a fitting manner, as laid down
by guidelines in Code of Behaviour.
Any child protection concerns must be reported to the
Child Liaison Officer immediately.
TRAINING SESSIONS
The importance of warm-up cannot be over emphasised. A
proper warm-up is essential if injury is to be avoided.
Swimmers must arrive on time (5 minutes before the start
of the session.) No warm-up - no
training! Persistent lateness will be
noted and reported to the Club committee.
Swimmers should help remove pool covers and put in ropes
quickly and quietly.
Swimmers should behave in an acceptable manner in changing
rooms.
Swimmers should be collected promptly after session
finishes and not be left un-supervised in Sports Centre.
No session may be undertaken unless there is a coach and
at least one other responsible adult present.
It is the responsibility of the adults dropping children to training
sessions to ensure that the pool is open and properly staffed before leaving
swimmers.
CODE OF BEHAVIOUR
Parents and swimmers should
refer to their Code of Behaviour.
If swimmers are removed from the
pool, they must shower and dress promptly and sit in spectator area until the
end of the session.
GALAS
One parent or designated adult
will attend all Galas. No unsupervised
children will be permitted. It is not
the coach's duty to look after children at Galas.
GALA FEES
Gala fees should normally be
paid with entry form. Failure to show
for a team relay event without good reason, may result in the swimmer having to
pay for the full team entry fee for the event.
