Children’s Officers

Calling all swimmers

All members should know that we have two Children’s Officers:

Their job it is to make sure that you enjoy your swimming, and that nothing interferes with this. They are there for you, to listen to any suggestions you may have to make your swimming more enjoyable, and to help you with any problem – big or small – that you may feel you need to discuss. It need not necessarily be a problem concerning your swimming.

Particularly if it is a situation or problem that you are uncomfortable with or that you think is wrong, please contact your Children’s Officer as soon as possible and they will help you.

Perhaps the club Secretary or one of the officers is someone you can approach and talk to about your concerns. If you are a young swimmer, maybe you could ask one of your parents or an older swimmer, to talk to a club officer with or without you being present.

Coach Concerns

Concerns might relate to something that affects you during training. Often, simply asking your coach for a quick word during a session can solve the problem immediately.

For Parents

These same officials are available to speak with you. The club has formal procedures in place to ensure that if you have a concern or a complaint, it will be heard and resolved promptly and satisfactorily.
