Medical Guidelines

Keeping our swimmers safe is something we take seriously. Each swimmer is asked to keep their medical details up to date throughout the season. We’ll send a reminder each year to review your information, and if anything has changed, please let the Coaches and/or committee know in writing so we can update your records.

Swimming and club activities do involve some level of risk. We manage this through well‑planned sessions, age‑appropriate progression, and supervision from trained, capable coaches and team managers. To support everyone’s safety, swimmers are expected to follow instructions and respect the few rules we have in place. Even with careful planning, being away from home or in a changing environment means risk can never be reduced to zero - but together, we keep it as low as possible.

Please work through the questions on the form, tick the correct option, and add extra detail where needed.

All medical information is handled with care. Forms are stored securely, and at swim meets the Team Manager carries them in case of emergency. Only those who genuinely need access - the coaching team, Team Manager, or a medical professional - will receive this information.
