SWIMMING CLUB RULES
1. Each term consists of TEN WEEKS and will not therefore correspond with the school term.
2. Fees should be paid on the first week of each term. An envelope will be given to parents on the last day of each term. Please return immediately or during the following week with fee enclosed. If a period of five swimming lessons is missed without informing the teacher, your place will be offered to a child on the waiting list.
3. If you do not receive an envelope for any reason the fee should still be handed in, in an envelope of your own with the name of the child and day/time of class clearly stated.
4. Parents may watch their child's lesson on the LAST SESSION of each term only. NO OUTSIDE FOOTWEAR IS ALLOWED TO BE WORN IN THE POOL AREA.
5. Please do not stand watching a lesson in the pool entrance. It is distracting to both pupil and teacher and can cause friction when parents are asked to leave this area.
6. Children should use the correct changing area from the age of 7 years to prevent embarrassing moments, i.e. boys in boys' changing room and girls in girls' changing room. If your child is aged 7 years or over and needs assistance then a member of the same sex should accompany them into the correct changing room. A child changing in the corridors is not permitted as this makes the floor slippery and extremely dangerous.
7. No child is under any obligation to join the Club or continue to be a member; if your child leaves please inform us as there is a waiting list.
8. Club notices, concerning schemes or changes, are displayed regularly on the notice board situated in the corridor outside the changing rooms.
9. No nail varnish or jewellery to be worn when swimming as small pieces can be swallowed when in the pool ( including earrings in newly pierced ears i.e. the first six weeks).
10. Girls will wear one-piece costumes and boys trunks, no shorts of any description are allowed.
11. All children should have a shower before coming through to the pool area.
12. Costumes, badges, goggles & swimming caps are available to buy thro' teachers.
13. The responsibility of the Swimming Teachers for your child/ren is for the pool area only. Parents are fully responsible for their child/ren outside the pool area.
14. Please endeavour to bring your child/ren at the correct time for lessons and arrange prompt collection to exclude the possibility of a child being stranded or at risk.
15. The Club hires the pool from the school; we ask your child/ren does not touch school property and respects school property at all times. We would remind you it is dangerous for children to sit on the wall or climb on the radiators in the corridor, the school has complained in the past about this problem.
16. Parents are asked to park in the car park next to the new sports hall and not at the front of the school. Complaints, regarding noise, have been received from local residents and we would therefore ask you to bear this in mind as you arrive and leave.
17. To prevent accidents in the pool - which results in 24 hr pool closure, please do not allow your children to eat 2 hours before swimming.
18. Complaints should be referred to the club chairman - see club notice board for telephone number.
19. The committee at their discretion and on behalf of the club has the right to refuse or terminate membership at any given time and without reason or prior notice.
20. FIRE ALARM If you are in a changing room when the fire alarm is activated, you and the child(ren) with you must leave the building immediately using a towel or whatever is available as a wrap and not wait to finish dressing. Go to the 'Meeting Point', which is the car park by the Sports Hall, where you will meet children and teachers who were in the pool area at the time of the alarm.
