Time Keeping Responsibilities
Hosts of swim meet, allocate clubs’ swim lanes according to the number of swimmers from the club attending the particular meet. When Arena Swim club is allocated time-keeping lanes it is our obligation to fill these positions so that the meet can run as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

Public Holidays? ASC doesn’t train on public holidays as the venue is normally closed, we don’t offer make-up lessons as this affects all squad swimmers and it is built into the monthly squad fees.
My Child is Sick or Injury what should I do? Please inform the Coaching Team likes to be kept in the loop with all issues that might affect the swimmer in the water. If you have an older Swimmer, they are more than welcome to discuss their situation with their coach directly.

Please note that ASC would appreciate it if no parents come down on to pool deck while the Coaches are coaching as this is a busy time trying to coordinate up to 30 to 60 swimmers at one time, please email Simon with your concerns and a suitable time will be made available for you to speak to your child’s Coach. Thank You.
