Poolside

Poolside Passes will be available for collection on the day of meet and there will also be the opportunity to purchase additional passes if required (provided applicant is DBS checked and holds the necessary qualifications). No one, other than competitors will be allowed onto the pool deck without the relevant pass. Passes must be worn and visible at all times

Marshalling will be carried out from the Sports Hall where swimmers can go to rest between their events if they wish.

Medals may be collected from a table situated on poolside. It is important that these are collected when results are released to prevent queues at the end of the session/day. If medals are not collected, they will not be forwarded by post after the meet has closed.

Camping chairs (any type including the fold up ones) will not be allowed.Competitors and coaches will be told to remove them if necessary.

Only food purchased from the Centre may be consumed inside the building, if spectators wish to bring their own then this must be eaten outside (this rule does not apply to competitors)

It would be appreciated if Swimmers, Coaches and Team Managers could acquaint themselves with this information, any changes will be announced at the Coaches/Team Managers meeting at 7.45 am on Saturday morning
