Changing Room Policy - Parents
We comply with the the ASA child safeguarding policies and procedures Their changing room policy regarding parents states that we should :
“Ensure that parents are aware that they should not be in the changing room whilst swimmers are changing, unless their child is of an age where help is required from parents or the swimmer requires specific assistance. This is generally at an age that is stipulated by the pool hirer, usually 7 or 8 years of age. In such circumstances, the parent must be the same gender as the child, unless the facility has family changing facilities or is a mixed changing village.”
AVSC does have young swimmers in the AVSC Academy, and we are therefore acknowledging that some swimmers might require assistance to change but encourage self-sufficiency wherever possible which will probably come with time and familiarity. As Radley now has a mixed changing environment, please be aware that parents in the changing room may be of either gender.

Entering a Competition
The actual entry is done via swim manager but the process is that you will be notified of a suitable event, usually by email. The entry "pack" will be on the Entry forms page of the AVSC website. Please look at the programme with your swimmer and discuss which events they would like to attempt. Then approach the squad coach to discuss this choice, THEN enter via the meets tab in swim manager.
