All Members – prospective and existing should familiarise themselves with the TERMS and CONDITIONS of membership.

The Code of Conduct is key to all members and is part of our TERMS and CONDITIONS and cannot be emphasised enough!

Underpinning the Code of Conduct is a legal compliance with SAFEGUARDING and its application with reference to children. Please read the SAFEGUARDING page as it is applicable to all members that may be using the clubhouse when children are present. It is particularly important for PARENTS, COACHES and TRAINING HELPERS.

ALL our coaches are DBS checked and will have been asked to complete an Online Safeguarding and Protecting Children Course.

Competition standards are high and aimed at the future production of beach lifeguards. Accordingly, both Nippers and Juniors are often pushed to limits to achieve and maintain high standards of fitness. As a club we endeavour to include the newbies and less skilled into the training routines. Often the sessions are exhausting and arduous! The coaches do their best to teach the skills and fitness levels required for the beach lifeguard pathway, whilst maintaining a balance to ensure that the children get maximum enjoyment and progression. All sessions are held under a Risk Assessed umbrella of SAFETY.

During training we keep a careful watch on flagging individuals, and –

we may ask children to drop down a group or sit out part of a session.

Parents are asked to communicate with the coaches or Trustee Committee Members should there be any concerns.

If your child is not at the required swimming capability in the middle column then please do come and talk to a Senior Coach before joining.
