2023 December PIA Schedule
No person on duty is a breach of Swim Ireland rules. If a person on duty does not turn up, the coach must ensure the safety of the young people and themselves; this may mean cancelling the session unless a replacement is found. The person on duty who did not turn up may be subject to disciplinary action by the club.
The PIA is an adult required by Swim Ireland rules to oversee coaching sessions to reduce risks and ensure someone is on hand for any emergency that might arise.
