GALA CONDUCT AND BEHAIVOUR

 

Conduct at Galas

 

• Remember that you are representing the Club and that good conduct is expected at all times.

 

• Be punctual.  Arrive at least 15 minutes before the specified warm-up time.

 

• When you first arrive on poolside report to the team stewards and remain with the team throughout the gala.  If you need to leave the poolside for any reason get permission from the team stewards.  They need to know where you are at all times (if they can’t find you, you may miss a race).

 

• Swim every event that you are asked to swim to the best of your ability - even if it is not your best/favorite stroke.

 

• Respect, encourage and support all of your teammates.  They are as much a part of the team as you and everyone’s contribution to the team effort is important and should be valued and appreciated.  Never denigrate the efforts of others.

 

• Do not leave litter on the poolside or in the changing room.  Put all sweet wrappers, drinks bottles and other rubbish in a bin.

 

• Ensure that your behavior and personal conduct is of a high standard and reflects favorably on the sport of swimming.

 

All swimmers must wear black costumes and all girls must wear a Redditch Swimming Club hat.
