TRAINING FOR POOLSIDE OBSERVERS

To keep the training costs to our swimmers as low as possible the club provides its own lifesaving cover on Thursday/Friday club nights.

The conditions for club pool hire state that coaches should hold current lifesaving qualifications and suitably trained poolside observers must occupy the chairs during all swimming activities. To train as a 2012 poolside observer please join one of the following Health and Safety briefings, which will meet by the learner pool and last about 30 minutes.

Thursday March 8th. 7.15pm and 8pm.

Friday March 9th 8pm

Thursday March 15th 8pm

Tuesday March 20th 8pm.

Please support both your swimmer and Halifax Swimming Club by attending one of these essential H&S briefings and volunteering to sit in an observer chair. Thank you for your time!
