WHY A CODE OF CONDUCT?
The purpose of this document is to establish a minimum standard of behaviour required of swimmers both on and off poolside: this applies to training sessions and galas. In order to maintain the Club’s reputation as a friendly and disciplined organisation and above all for the safety and well being of swimmers, all members must agree to abide by the Rules of the Club and in particular the rules contained in this Code of Conduct.
BEHAVIOUR
General
The Club will not tolerate bullying in any of its many forms. Members should behave in a polite and orderly manner at any time they are representing or associated with Hart S.C.
In water and on poolside
SWIMMERS MUST:- Obey promptly all instructions from the coaches. This also applies to obeying instructions at galas from team managers and any of the officials on duty. Behave in a safe and responsible manner. Not use abusive language or act in an aggressive manner. Behave in a ‘sporting’ manner in all races. Not be on poolside until a Hart S.C. official is present..
Changing room
SWIMMERS MUST:- Behave in a responsible and orderly manner in the shower area and the changing rooms and change as quickly as possible. Respect the property of other swimmers and the Leisure Centre. Obey any instructions from changing room stewards, who will also help if you have a problem. Not use the team/family room - this is out of bounds to all swimmers.
Coaches to away galas
SWIMMERS MUST:- Remain seated throughout the journey. Not interfere with any safety equipment including alarm buttons, switches handles etc. Comply with any instruction from the coach driver, respect the condition of the coach and place all rubbish in the receptacle at the front of the coach.
SANCTIONS/PUNISHMENT
At the discretion of the coaches, any swimmer breaking these rules will receive a formal verbal warning from either the coaches or, if at galas, the team manager. These verbal warnings from the coaches may be supplemented by exclusion from a training session for a limited period of time or the whole session. In such cases there will be no refund of fees. Likewise, swimmers may be excluded from part or all of a gala. Persistent offenders or anyone committing a serious offence will receive a written warning from the committee. Any recurrence may result in the club Committee ruling that a swimmer is either temporarily or permanently excluded from the Club. Before this action is taken the swimmer and his/her parent or guardian will have the right to put their case to the Club Committee. |
