Grantham Swimming Club
Swimming Squads Code of Conduct
PURPOSE
The swimming club exists for the benefit of the swimmers, to develop their skill in and to instill a code of behaviour that will carry them forward with credit.
To create the atmosphere and example necessary to achieve this objective the following code of conduct will be adopted.
At training sessions it is expected that I will:
- Arrive in a positive frame of mind, ready to train at the level your coach requires
- Arrive in good time (be on poolside for 10 minutes before session starts) for the beginning of the session with all necessary equipment in good working order with full water bottles
- Respect coaches, poolside helpers, officials and all other club members
- Aim for 100% attendance or give notice to training team as to why your are absent
- Put every effort into the training sessions and avoid short cutting or missing sections by toilet excuses etc.
- Always consult their coach if I am late, wish to leave early, feel unwell etc.
- Pay attention to the coach when he / she is talking to me
- Keep up with the activities of the Club by reading the notice boards, website and consulting Coaches/officials
- Always act in a responsible manner
- Please observe and respect the local rules of the swimming pool we train in. The club is very fortunate to have access to these facilities and would be badly affected if they were withdrawn as a result of poor behaviour by its members. Please therefore keep the changing rooms tidy and inform coaches of any problems
- Not use inappropriate language or actions or act in an aggressive manner
- Not attend training sessions if I am either ill or not feeling 100%
Remember – All of the helpers at the club are volunteers giving up their free time to help you, so please be polite at all times.
At all Galas it is expected that swimmers will:
- Arrive at the venue in plenty of time for the warm up and immediately join their team group
- Remain at all times throughout the gala with their team group unless they have agreed with the team manger a reason to leave poolside
- Not leave the poolside after their last swim until their team manager has agreed for them to go. In a trophy gala they must remain to acknowledge the winning team
- Provide encouragement and support to fellow team members
- Keep in constant touch with the programme and prepare themselves in plenty of time for their race without relying on the team manger
- Wear the club kit at all times, i.e. hat, T. shirt, (jacket and sweatshirt if you have them)
- Please remember when you are wearing the club kit you are representing the club AT ALL TIMES even when not on poolside
NOTE: It is expected that ALL swimmers be available for league galas, unless they have asked not to be considered for these. Any difficulties must be discussed with the Coach.
In the Changing Rooms Swimmers must
- Behave in a responsible and orderly manner in the shower area and the changing rooms and change as quickly as possible
- Respect the property of other swimmers and the Leisure Centre
- Never wear outdoor shoes in the changing rooms or on poolside
- We as a club expect a high standard of behaviour from ALL our members
I accept that failure to comply with the Code of Conduct will result in disciplinary action being taken.
