Code of ConductRespect yourself: swim for personal goals and achievement, and for fun, not just to please parents and coaches.
Respect the rules: do not argue with or use offensive language against officials. If you disagree, inform your coach who will approach the official at an appropriate time to discuss the matter.
Respect your team-mates: work equally hard for your self and your club. Encourage your team-mates, (peer-support) and applaud all good efforts, regardless of winning or losing races.
Respect competitors from other clubs: treat all swimmers, as you would like to be treated your self.
Respect supporters: show appreciation to parents, volunteers, officials and administrators, they are there to support and encourage you.
Role modelling: remember that your club mates, especially those more junior, learn by your example and actions. Be constructive not destructive.
Drugs: Central Aquatics Swimming and Lifesaving Club have has a ZERO tolerance to the use of illicit or performance-enhancing drugs. There is a complete ban on the use of these substances and breeches to this Policy will result in withdrawn of membership from the Club.
Complaints will be dealt with seriously, confidentially and quickly. Corrective measures will be undertaken or disciplinary action may follow.
PARENTAL BEHAVIOUR
PARENTS are an integral component of the club. Indeed, the club could not survive with out parental involvement. Parents are encouraged to participate in Club activities and functions and they should support and ensure that their child abides by the Code of Conduct.
Parents need to be mindful of the needs of others swimmers. Whilst it is understandable that their focus is on their own child, it is important to remember that the Club functions to support ALL our swimmers in a collective and enjoyable environment.
Equally the Code of Conduct applies to parents who should be mindful to respect swimmer, team-mates, competitors, coaches and officials.
If there is an issue or complaint that involves another swimmer, parents should avoid making contact with or confronting the swimmer directly.
Parents are encouraged to discuss this matter further with the parent of the swimmer and/or the appropriate coach. A formal complaint may be made to the committee, if the matter is more serious in nature. |
