Compliance
To achieve Swim 21 status we are obliged to provide our club members with documentation and information regarding club policies and ethics. We also aim to keep our members informed and updated of news, notices and policy changes on a regular basis.

The club has an effective communications system via our web site, email and notice board, however it is sometimes difficult to display all policy documentation and other club information in a single place.

It is for this reason that we have collated the documentation together which can be easily accessed by members and which complies with Swim 21 guidelines. You will find links to some of the documentation available in other areas of the site, for example, membership documentation, codes of conduct and child protection policies can be accessed on our membership page. links to other clubs within the region can be located on our links page, which also provides links to useful sites (we do not have control over the content of external sites) offering advice on nutrition and exercise.

Below you will find links to all our policies. We hope that these documents are useful. If there is any information that you feel we should document here please contact us at the above email address.
