Competition Code of Conduct Stockport Metro typically attends competitions with a larger than average team and we make our presence felt both in and out of the pool. The Club has an enviable national and international reputation to uphold and how we behave at meets has a great bearing on this. The swimmers benefit from superb poolside support from the coaching staff, from parent spectators, and from Club volunteers at home meets, and their common objective is to achieve the best possible results for each individual. To ensure everything runs smoothly the club needs everyone to observe the following protocols: · Swimmers should arrive on time, wearing the club kit, and with sufficient drinks and healthy snacks to last for the session. · Swimmers should be prepared – know the events they are swimming, and have all the necessary equipment. · Only coaches decide whether a swimmer can withdraw from an event heat or final. · Swimmers should remain on poolside at all times unless agreed with their coach. · Swimmers must treat all officials, coaches, helpers, parents and fellow competitors with courtesy and respect at all times. · Swimmers should talk to their coach for feedback after each race. · Parents are not allowed on poolside unless in an emergency. Any issues should be discussed with the coaches during the session breaks. · Parents should show full support for the club and swimmers at all times. · All club members should dispose of any rubbish and leave poolside and spectator areas clean and tidy. |
