Club Policies

Our Approach

Dingwall Amateur Swimming Club operates within a clear framework of policies and procedures to ensure the club is run fairly, safely, and effectively.

These policies set out expectations, responsibilities, and processes for swimmers, parents, coaches, and volunteers, helping the club operate smoothly and transparently.

Why Policies Matter

Club policies help to:

• Protect swimmers and volunteers
• Set clear standards of behaviour
• Ensure fairness and consistency
• Support good governance and decision-making

All members of the club are expected to be familiar with and adhere to the club’s policies.
