The club is currently undertaking a full review of all personal information held on its members to ensure it is accurate, uptodate and fit for the purpose it is required. It has become apparent that not all swimmers are registering their medical conditions and drugs used, for example asthma and the need to use an inhaler/pump. It is vital that all such information is recorded and made available to the coach to ensure your health and safety and to comply with the ASA guidelines. If you have any medical condition that requires medication, or indeed not quite sure if your condition should be registered please contact Susan Whitehead who will be happy to advise.
