Code of Behaviour for swimmers in Clontarf Swim

In Clontarf Swim our mission is to develop and produce swimmers with excellent skills which they will maintain for life. We pride ourselves in being able to provide individual attention to swimmers within our class environment. We have an approach to learning that we feel is superior to many other swim schools and which has produced successful swimmers up as far as Olympic level.

That been said, we expect all children to behave in an appropriate manner and abide by our code of behaviour. While in the pool, pupils must at all times obey the teacher’s orders. Our behaviour code is based on the recommendations of Swim Ireland.

Be happy, have fun and enjoy taking part and being involved in your sport

2. Be treated fairly by everyone, swimming teachers, adults and other swimmers

3. Feel safe and secure when you are taking part in your sport.

4. Be listened to and allowed to reply.

5. Be treated with dignity, sensitivity and respect.

6. Say no to something which makes you feel uncomfortable.
