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.
