2024 Champs Saturday 5th October
Dear Colleagues
The warm up schedule and the memo for Saturday 5th October can be found under the events Tab.
Can you ensure that these are distributed to your personnel and that parents, swimmers know the procedures
with regard to time of arrival, warm up times etc.
A couple of things to note (again everyone needs to aware of):
-
Photography – no mobile phones in changing rooms (including toilets) – a few swimmers were warned last weekend.Absolutely NO photography in the changing room area.
-
Warm up etiquette – coaches and team managers please make sure your swimmers follow correct lane etiquette whenwarming up. There was an incident last weekend which caused a swimmer having to withdraw from the events. It was caused by a swimmer doing full fly stroke down the middle of the lane when passing another swimmer.
-
Strictly poolside personnel allowed in the changing room, poolside. No parents etc. If team personnel can help to monitor this it would be a big help. This is a safeguarding issue for everyone.
-
Club Roles – check roles

Good luck to all our swimmers!
Would clubs please note the message below from Championship Secretary Janice Whittle
Please be mindful of the roles allocated to clubs. If you cannot fulfil the role for any reason can you sort.
It will be a simple cold buffet each day for those club poolside teams who have ordered lunches.
As indicated in the memo tell your swimmers and parents not to arrive too early.
There is room for everyone.
We are working with 6 lanes throughout the meet.
Sadly the scoreboard is out of action – we do apologise but these things do take time to repair/replace.
The timing is in full working order.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Janice
