I know coaches are very busy. Is it ok to contact them?
Yes, it is absolutely fine to contact a coach if you need to. We only ask that you respect the fact that it is not always easy for them to speak on poolside. Many instances where you need to contact coaches can be dealt with via a quick email exchange, so feel free to do this in the first instance. Unless the query is of an urgent nature, please allow a few days for a response.
You child’s coach should be contacted if you have questions about:
- Your child’s progress
- Which galas or races to enter
- Long term sickness or injury
If your child’s coach cannot help with the above or you have other issues regarding the coach or the training sessions then please refer upwards as follows:
