Southern Swim School Code of Conduct

The Southern Swimming Pool has developed a customer code of conduct to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all customers and staff. It also hopes to encourage a seamless experience with us at the swimming pool.

​

 

 

If you think there is a problem speak to the instructor or swimming lesson coordinator at the end of the day’s lessons if possible, or the pool manager at the earliest convenience.

​

In the event of an emergency the lifeguard will blow a single long blast on their whistle.

All swimmers will move to the nearest side of the pool, leave the water, and wait further instructor from the poolside staff.

All spectators must stop what they are doing and wait for further instructions.

Should it be necessary to evacuate the building no attempt should be made to recover possessions from the changing rooms or anywhere else within the building.

Southern Swimming Pool staff will implement their emergency action plan training, in all instances where it is necessary to evacuate the building..

 

All instructors must hold a Swim England/STA teaching certificate. All lifeguards must hold an NPLQ certificate.
