Club Rules
In addition to the rules and bye laws set out in the British Sub-Aqua Club articles
of Association (supplied on request) and the Walton swimming Pool Rules, the following
rules also apply:
- All Snorkellers will be on pool side by 7.20pm ready to start.
This will mean that we get better use of our pool time, being able to use the full hour for teaching rather than spendingfifteen minutes fiddling about getting kit together, briefing etc.
- All Snorkellers will bring their Yellow/Green Log Book with them each week.
This was introduced at the request of the Instructors. The instructors are unable to sign up the log books if they are not brought along each week and presented for signing. It is your responsibility to get it signed.It will also increase the chance of gaining an award as there is written proof that a particular lesson has been taken.
- All Snorkellers will have their own kit with them each week.
Due to a lack of club equipment all members should have their own Mask, Fins and Snorkel with them every week. This will make training easier so that we are not sharing equipment or looking for things to fit. (The only exeption is new members for the first month.)
- All Snorkellers will attend training each week or notify thier Instructor in advance of absence.
This rule has been introduced as it is becoming increasingly difficult for the instructors to develop their lessons due to having to recap or re instruct the previous weeks work due to an absent person returning. This meant that people were becoming frustrated by being held back. Please inform Nick of absence with excuse. illness and holiday are the obvious reasons.
- All Snorkellers will behave in an orderly and safe manner, and follow directions given by an Instructor at all times.
This rule was introduced for safety reasons, as the instructor must have controll at all times to prevent any incident. We would expect the same level of respect given to instructors, as that which the snorkeller would show his/her schoolteacher. The pool is an educational environment that is far more dangerous than a classroom, and must be treated as such by the instructor.
