Hart SC Notice Board

 

 

 

Hart SC

MEDICAL INFORMATION

For all swimmers

  

ASA law now requires all Clubs to notify the gala/meet medical officer or referee at every gala or open meet of swimmers  taking any medication.  It is very important that medication taken by swimmers is not on the banned list, especially if you  swim regularly for the club. This applies even if you are only taking medication for a short time.

 

The club needs to be kept informed of any changes in medication and this information can be given to Linda Charlesworth  or Ann Machin. Drug testing can take place at any time. This includes galas, open meets as well as  normal training sessions.  If you are drug tested and have failed to declare your medication, or you are taking a banned substance, you could be excluded from swimming.

 

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP US INFORMED

 

For this reason the club keeps all medical information, in a confidential file, and this is taken to galas and open meets in case it is needed. 

 

The form below must be signed by ALL swimmers even if you are not on medication at the moment.
