Clubs Statement:
Peterlee ASC aims to provide a teaching, coaching and development swimming programme for the children of East Durham. It is hoped that this will allow them to reach their true potential in the performance of competitive swimming, improve their fitness and wellbeing.
Clubs Vision/Values:
Peterlee ASC prides itself in being a small friendly Club that is open to all as far as is possible. It is a Club that values its members and provides a positive experience for all. It works in a supportive and developmental environment and is fully inclusive offering opportunities for all.
Clubs overall Objectives:
Provide a fully inclusive teaching, training and development programme for the children of East Durham that will allow them to reach their true potential in the performance of swimming.
Peterlee ASC follows the Wavepower 2024 Guidelines as determined by Swim England; this includes rules on the use of photographic equipment. New rules state no mobile phones or device with photo, video etc options are allowed in the changing village at our pool or any other pool we will visit. Failure to adhere to this rule will be considered a breach of the clubs code of conduct and Swim England rules.
A copy of these rules are available from the club secretary.
However, as a general rule no photograhic/videoing equipment should be used on poolside while the club has full hire of the pool without first discussing it with a coach or the committee.
Any concern regarding Safeguarding should be discussed with the club's Welfare Officer - details of who to contact are posted on the club's notice board.
Peterlee ASC embraces the Swim England Wavepower 2024 guidelines.
Swimmers and their families should conduct themselves at all time in a manner which will not bring the club into disrepute. This applies to training sessions and attendance at galas. In order to ensure that all swimmers maximise their experiences with the club it is important that all feel welcome and comfortable regardless of age, sex, ability, religion etc, therefore discipline is an important feature. Anyone not conducting their self in an appropriate manner may be asked to leave, either on that occasion or permanently depending upon the situation. Swimmers should be supportive of one another and bullying in any form will not be deemed acceptable behaviour.
Process for disciplinary
1. Verbal warning
2. Written warning and interview with full committee
3. Expulsion from the club
For serious breaches of discipline including use of bad language, behaviour, disrespect to club personnel, leisure centre staff etc, stage 3 may be implemented immediately.
The Club follows the ASA governing body which it adopted in 2008, now Swim Englands.
A copy of this is held by the club secretary and is available for anyone to see.
