| Unfortunately, as a result of recent potential safeguarding incidents involving the use of the mobile phone camera facility, with immediate effect, the use of mobile phones, tablets and any device which can be used to take images, is prohibited on poolside, in changing rooms and at land training.
Any such device must be kept switched off in a swimmer's bag whilst in those areas, and must only be switched back on when outside the vicinity of either changing rooms or poolside / training areas.
Parents and carers are requested to ensure swimmers are fully aware of this rule. Any breach of the rule will be treated seriously by the Club.
If there are exceptional circumstances where a swimmer must be contactable, they should make a coach aware of this and their phone should be handed to the coach.
The Club appreciates the importance of this issue and both the committee and coaches will be undertaking a full review of the use of mobile phones over coming weeks. In addition, the Club Welfare Officer will be providing information to assist both parents/ carers and swimmers on this issue.
Thank you for your co-operation in this matter in helping to ensure the safety of our swimmers.
