Behaviour

Recently, especially in squad sessions, we have had problems with the behaviour of SOME swimmers.

We don't expect all kids to be angels but we do expect them to want to train, listen to what they are being told and to show some respect for the teachers/coaches (who are all unpaid volunteers) and other swimmers who do want to train.

Please remind your children to respect others and to behave. If they don't want to train then they shouldn't really be in squad sessions.

In the future, any swimmer who disrupts the session, will be asked to leave that session so those that do want to swim can swim.

Galas

A reminder that for all the Saturday evenings in May and the first few Saturdays in June we have a gala.

Look out for the pink slips!!
