Swimmers – Discipline

 

Here are a few rules, which we expect all swimmers to follow

 

 Arrive on poolside 5 minutes before the start (where the session allows).  Find out what the warm-up is and have your hat and goggles on ready to start the session.  At this point flexibility exercise can commence.

 

Swimmers may be refused entry to a session if they are late. This is in the interests of Health & Safety of all swimmers in the pool.

 

Swimmers are expected to complete a full training session.  Swimmers are not permitted to swim for an hour where the session is a two-hour session etc.  It is important the swimmers complete the full session and finish with a swim down.

 

Bring everything you need onto the poolside.  No one should need to get out during a one hour session – for the toilet or any other reason.  Go to the toilet before the start.  If you get out without a genuine reason, you may not be allowed to continue the session.

 

No walking at the beginning or end of swims and no diving under the water halfway down the pool.  If you continue to do this you will be sent out.

 

All starts should be from the wall, all finishes should be on the wall.  Make room for the incoming swimmer to finish.  Proper turns should be attempted at all times

 

Get into your proper order for the swim. Swimmers cannot give maximum effort if they are being held up be another swimmers

If a swimmer from behind catches you up, let him/her go before you in the next swim.  Do not pull on swimmers feet, this is dangerous and may drag them under.  Only overtake when safe to do so.  At no time should a swimmer stop and bob up and down in the water to let someone pass as this is dangerous.

 

 

These are the Club Training Rules
