Safeguarding and Welfare

The health, safety and well-being of every swimmer is our main concern. Safeguarding our swimmers is everybody’s responsibility and we want to work in partnership with you to help all swimmers to achieve their full potential.  

To promote a safe environment for swimmers, our selection and recruitment policy follows guidelines set down by Swim England. It includes checks on Coaches', Team Managers' and other volunteers’ suitability including DBS and reference checks. We provide our volunteers in contact with swimmers safeguarding training as recommended by Swim England. 

Our designated Welfare Officer, Abbie is responsible for all safeguarding matters within the club. If you are ever worried or unhappy about something, you can tell the welfare officer, your coach, or an adult that you trust at the club and they will help and support you.
