LOSS OF AYKLEY HEADS AND REVISED TIMETABEL

As of the return to the season the following squad training times for afternoon / evening sessions will change as a result of the loss of pool time on a Thursday night.

B2: Tuesday 7:30 - 9:00pm Wednesday 6:00 - 7:30pm Friday 7:00 - 9:15pm Sunday 2:00 - 4:00pm

B3: Tuesday 7:30 - 9:00pm Wednesday 6:00 - 7:30pm Friday 7:00 - 8:15pm (Selected swimmers will remain in the pool to swim with B2) Sunday 2:00 - 4:00pm

SD1: Tuesday 7:30 - 9:00pm (SD1 will no longer swim on a Wednesday) Friday 8:15 - 9:15pm Sunday 2:00 - 4:00pm

I am investigating the possible locations for land training at present which I will aim to be on a Thursday night. We hope this will just be a temporary arrangement and that alternative pool time can be found as soon as possible. Thanks Craig

GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

It must be emphasided that parents are NOT allowed on poolside at any time during training sessions or galas and are discouraged from engaging in conversation with the coaches whilst they are supervising children. This is for the welfare and the safety of all swimmers. If you have an issue and need to speak with your child's coach you are requested to wait until AFTER the session. Alternatively, arrange a suitable time to discuss the matter with your childs coach at a convenient later date.

At times the access between the large and small pool can become very congested. It is requested that you move through this area quickly and do not venture onto poolside. All of our staff on poolside have been CRB checked according to the ASA Child Protection Policy. By venturing on to the poolside you are in breach of Clubs Code of Conduct.

All parents of children under the age of 11 MUST remain within the building at all times while your child is at the pool. This is for the welfare and safety of your child. If you require any further details or information regarding our Club Codes of Conduct or Child Welfare Policies please visit our Members page.
