Code of Conduct

Terrace Blueback Swim Club Code of Conduct for Swimmers

Any swimmer training with or competing for the Terrace Blueback Swim Club shall agree that:
1. There will be no possession or use of any drug, alcohol or tobacco in any form.
2. Swimmers will conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike manner at all times.
3. Any wilful damage occurring in a hotel, pool or other facility used by a Blueback swimmer is the
responsibility of the swimmer and/or his or her family.
4. When hotel rooms are visited by people other than the occupants of that room, the door will be left
ajar.
5. Swimmers will follow the rules set down by the coach and the chaperone.
6. All members (swimmers, parents/guardians, club representative) will treat coaches, chaperones
and team-mates in a respectful manner as a member and representative of the club while taking part
in all club activities.
Irresponsible public behaviour by swimmers can do severe damage to the sport of swimming and to
the support which all levels of swimmers work so hard to achieve.
Any contravention of the Code of Conduct will be dealt with by the Terrace Blueback Swim Club,
through its representative(s) and may result in:
a) a swimmer being sent home at his or her own expense;
b) suspension or reparative consequence as determined by all parties (swimmer and swimmers, parents/guardians and coach);
c) a membership evaluation by the executive.
If an objection is made to the disciplinary measures taken, an appeal in writing from the swimmer of
the family should be forwarded to the President who shall call a meeting of the
Board of Directors.
