Below is a list of our club rules and policies.
Splashworld Sharks Swimming club prides itself on our team spirit and the fun we enjoy as swimmers, coaches and parents. This ethos is fundamental to our club, our training, our competitions, our away trips and our behaviour towards all our club members as well as our interactions with other clubs. It is with this in mind that the rules and guidelines set out below hope to ensure all members have equal access to our rules and regulations - most of which have been set out by Swim Ireland.
Competition Code of Conduct for Parents Coaches and Mentors
Parents Should lead by example. The link below keeps a common sense approach to parenting / coaching. We are here for the sport and the fun of it all.
Sport is not just about sport or winning! It is about learning social skills, making friends, going through the pain and coming out the other side with your team. With the highs come the lows and with the lows comes the learning, the grit and the perseverance.
