Code of Conduct

• When a coach is talking swimmers should not talk,
  and should look at the coach. Where swimmers are
  not doing this they will be told to hold the
  rail, and ultimately to stand on the side if they
  continue to talk.
• Swimmers are not allowed to go to the toilet
  during a set.
• Swimmers are not allowed to stop in the middle of
  a length. Any swimmer stopping at the end should
  get out and wait on the side so as not to get in
  the way of other swimmers who are still in the
  water.
• Swimmers must make every effort to move over at
  the end of the lane to allow others to finish.
• There is an expectation that swimmers will attend
  as many sessions as possible. It is critical to
  swimmer development. If a swimmer has been away
  due to illness they must inform their coach on
  return as to the nature of the illness.
• Swimmers are expected to arrive on poolside on
  time for each session Lateness causes a major
  disruption to the session. It is vital a swimmer
  warms up correctly in order to avoid injury. It
  is bad manners to arrive late. This applies to
  all ages!
