When swimming, I will:

  • Not jump in the pool unless advised

  • If I am feeling unwell, I will alert a teacher

  • I will always smile & have fun

  • I understand that if I do not follow the code I could be removed from the classes

Parents:

  • Children rinse, using poolside shower facilities, before entering the pool and completing of the swimming lesson 

  • Children will rinse in the poolside showers, children are only permitted to use this shower & not in the changing room showers due to the number of participants, these areas should be left for members of the club only. Showering will need to wait until the participant is home.
