Safeguarding

• Share relevant medical conditions, allergies and additional needs through the academy’s registration process.
• Ensure your swimmer is checked in and the coach knows they have arrived.
• Tell the academy about changes to collection arrangements.
• Bring required medication and agree its availability with the academy.

Independent arrival requires the academy’s agreement and parent/guardian consent.

Parents and guardians may assist their own children when necessary in the venue’s designated family or permitted changing facilities. Follow venue access restrictions and respect other swimmers’ privacy.

Photography and filming are prohibited in changing areas and toilets. Coaches do not routinely assist with changing. If exceptional assistance is needed, agree arrangements with the parent and club welfare officer in advance.

Ensure your child is changed and checked in, and personally hand them over to the coach. Tell the academy in advance about changes to collection; notify the coach if your child arrives late or needs to leave early.
