Kenora Swimming Sharks

Training Policy

Reporting to Workouts:

Swimmers should arrive at the pool or gym (for Dryland sessions) ten (10) minutes proceeding the scheduled workout time. This will give the swimmer enough time to get changed and to be out on the pool deck prior to the scheduled start time of each training session. As it is very disruptive to have swimmers come into workouts late, we request that all KSS members make every effort to be ready to start with the rest of your group. Remember, we start our sessions on time.

Swimmers are requested not to be on deck too early as it is considered disruptive by the aquatic centre. Please do not come on deck more than 10 minutes prior to scheduled swim times.

Swimmers are encouraged to carry swim bags to store their clothing and valuables (carry them onto the pool deck to prevent theft), or to use the token operated lockers at the pool.

Shoes:

Shoes must always be removed prior to entering the change rooms and stored on shelves provided in the recreation centre hallway and indoors shoes only are allowed on the pool deck.

Showers:

All KSS swimmers must shower before entering the pool prior to every training session.

Training Equipment:

It is the responsibility of each KSS swimmer to have the proper required equipment available for each workout. Personal equipment (swimmersexpense) includes a bathing suit, swim cap or hair elastic(s), and most especially goggles.

Additional items of equipment supplied by the swim club may include:

• hand paddles
• pull buoys
• swim fins
• weight belts and/or buckets
• surgical tubing
• medicine balls
• VASA Trainers, etc.

These are stored in various locations in the pool area, and the swimmer will be instructed what he/she will need and when to get the items needed.

Please Note: It will be each swimmers responsibility to return all items of KSS equipment that they have used neatly to its storage location.
