Killerwhales Swim Club of Havering was founded in late 1976 with the prime objective to coach competitive swimming to children from within the borough and local surrounding areas.
In addition to coaching, the club also teaches children how to swim in its Learn-to-Swim School. It is normally from teaching children how to swim that they show an interest to progress on and swim competitively. The club is able to satisfy the child’s swim development needs through its transitional section the Super Swimming Group. It is during this period that the child’s abilities and desire will equalise providing them with the basis to move into the structured swimming squads.
By following the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) National Teaching Plan the club ensure that swimmers are developed to recognised levels using proven methods.
The club has many hours of pool time available throughout different swimming pools within the borough. This diverse spread of pools at varying times ensures that needs of each swimmer whether it be teaching, developing, coaching can reasonably be met, thus maximising the individual swimmer’s potential.
The club has won many honours including National Age Group Championships Top Club Title, Regional Top Club and Essex County Championships Top Club.
In short the club is proud to boast that the name Killerwhales is synonymous with the word success.
Squad Structure
The squad structure exists to provide the right opportunities for swimmers to develop at their own natural rates of progression.
Movement through squads is at the discretion of the Coaches who will take a range of issues into consideration such as stroke development, age, frequency of attendance at training sessions, attitude and level of commitment as well as how fast the swimmer is.
The squad is split into senior, intermediate, junior and super group sections with further splits in each section to cater for differing levels of ability.
Super group swimmers may swim 1, 2 or 3 times per week. They then progress into the Junior Squads swimming between 4 and 6 times a week.
Finally the swimmer may progress to the Senior squads with up to 9 sessions each week.
A land training session is also available to senior squad swimmers.
Swimmers are expected to attend a minimum of 75% of all sessions available to them unless separately agreed with the Coach.
Committee structure
The Killerwhales Swim Club of Havering consists of two swimming streams, Learn-to-Swim and Competitive Swimming. Both require extensive administration which is provided by a voluntary ‘Committee,’ comprising elected members led by the Club Executive. Most Committee Members are parents of swimmers or ex-swimmers who bring with them a wealth of experience from their varied professional backgrounds.
The Club Executive is made up of of the Chairman, Treasurer and Club Secretary
The
Club Committee usually meets monthly and an Annual General Meeting is held in May
or June to which all Parents are invited.
The Club is committed to offering equality of opportunity regardless of sex, ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation within the bounds of its operation as a competitive swimming club for children and young people.
We will ensure that equality is incorporated in all aspects of our activities and are committed to all Club Members having the right to enjoy their sport in an environment free from threat of discrimination, intimidation, harassment and abuse.
The Club acknowledges that all Members have a responsibility to challenge discriminatory behaviour and promote equality of opportunity. We will deal with any incidence of discriminatory behaviour seriously, in accordance with the Clubs policies, the ASA Code of Ethics, guidelines for internal disputes and judicial laws.
The Club is committed to encouraging membership from all sectors of the community. To achieve this we undertake to:
Promote an open and honest culture.
Communicate widely
Positively encourage participation from all sectors of society where the skills and resources of the Club permit us to do so. Where the Club is unable to cater for specific social or physical needs we will endeavour to introduce the swimmer to a Club more suited to the swimmers needs.
Adopt attitudes and working practices to ensure that everyone can feel a valued
member of the Club.
The Club will ensure its practices in the recruitment and employment of coaches and teachers is consistent with its approach to equality of opportunity.
The Club will monitor and review its policies and practices in this area periodically
to ensure they remain effective and relevant.
4 Information Security & Disclosure
The Club maintains a database of information on all Club members for its own purposes. This information is generally limited to name and contact details which are used to ensure members can be contacted and notified of events or changes to schedules.
In certain circumstances we hold additional information which may include details relating to health and safety, for example where we have been notified that a swimmer suffers from asthma.

not kept longer than is necessary,
held securely.
Information held will be shared with coaches and committee members where necessary and appropriate. It will also be shared with other organisations where it is an essential part of running a swimming club, for example providing names and dates of birth to other clubs when entering Gala’s, or providing membership details to the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA).
Information will not be passed to third parties for the purposes of marketing or sales or other reason considered unrelated to the normal running of the club.
The Club will provide such information as is required by the ASA, Police, Social Services, or other public body where it relates to matters of child protection or safety.

Anti-bullying policy
Statement of Intent
We are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all of our members so they can swim in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at our club. If bullying does occur, all swimmers or parents should be able to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively. We are a TELLING club. This means that anyone who knows that bullying is happening is expected to tell the club welfare officer or any committee member.
What Is Bullying?
Bullying is the use of aggression with the intention of hurting another person. Bullying results in pain and distress to the victim.
Bullying can be: Emotional - being unfriendly, excluding (emotionally and physically), sending hurtful text messages, tormenting, (e.g. hiding goggles/floats, threatening gestures)
Physical - pushing, kicking, hitting, punching or any use of violence
Racist - racial taunts, graffiti, gestures
Sexual - unwanted physical contact or sexually abusive comments
Homophobic - because of, or focusing on the issue of sexuality
Verbal - name-calling, sarcasm, spreading rumours, teasing
Why is it Important to Respond to Bullying?
Bullying hurts. No one deserves to be a victim of bullying. Everybody has the right to be treated with respect. Swimmers who are bullying need to learn different ways of behaving.
A club has a responsibility to respond promptly and effectively to issues of bullying.
Objectives of this Policy
All committee members, coaches and teachers, swimmers and parents should have an understanding of what bullying is.
All committee members, teaching and coaching staff should know what the club policy is on bullying, and follow it when bullying is reported.
All swimmers and parents should know what the club policy is on bullying, and what they should do if bullying arises.
As a club we take bullying seriously.
Swimmers and parents should be assured that they would be supported when bullying is reported.
Bullying will not be tolerated.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

The Club has a formal constitution which guides the way it operates. However the most useful ones are Club Rules are set out below:
Swim Fees
Killerwhales Swim Club is a not for profit club. That means that all fees and charges relate solely to the costs of running the Club. Any profit made is put back into the Club. No profit is distributed to Club or Committee Members.
The fee structure of the Club is split into two sections.
Learn to Swim.
Fees are charged for each 10-week-course.
Current Fees are: £45 for 10 week course
LTS ‘Improvers’ pay £20 a month excluding August. This provides for a longer session for developing swimmers and potential squad members.
Squad Fees.
Each of the squads is charged a monthly fee, with the squads utilising the greatest pool time being charged the greatest amount. Squad Fees are due by the 1st of each month in advance. The fees are pro-rata for the year so need to be paid in full for each month including August.
Changes to Squad fees are set by the Committee and must be reported to Annual or Special General meetings.

Squad Fees can be suspended, at the discretion of the Club where for exceptional
reasons, such as extended periods of ill health. This must be by prior agreement
with the Squad Coach and Club Treasurer. Return to the squad and reinstatement of
fees must be agreed in advance. One full month is the minimum period of fee suspension.
Where Squad Fees are more than one month in arrear the Club has a right to suspend
the swimmer from training until all fees are up to date.
Competition Fees
Fees to enter galas vary according to the type, level and location of the gala. They are determined by the host and typically a fee is charged for each event. All gala fees need to be paid in advance by the date specified by the Competition Secretary.
In addition to fees for each event a Coaches’ Supplement is charged by the Club to fund the cost of squad coaches to attend the Gala. The Coaches’ supplement is pooled over a financial year and pays for the coaches to attend the Gala, the Coaches’ Pass fee charged by the host Club, Coaches’ expenses e.g. overnight accommodation and travel cost.
The Coaches’ supplement fee is set by the Committee and is currently:
Cost of a single event/fixed fee per gala where the swimmer has been entered for more than one event in that gala. Where the Gala in the view of the Chairman requires an overnight stay for the Coach this fee will be doubled.
Membership
Club Membership
All members of the squads must pay an annual Club Membership Fee. This is set by the Club Committee and pays towards the running of the club. This Fee is usually collected in September and covers the 1st September – 31st August financial year that the Club operates. Club Fees are set out below:
1st Child £30
3rd or Subsequent Child(ren) £15.00
Where a swimmer progresses from the LTS Improvers group into the Junior squad an initial Club Membership of £15 is payable on entry to the squad with the balance due within 3 months of joining the squad.
Where a swimmer joins a squad part way during a financial year Membership Fees are
due pro rata to the number of full months remaining in that year. The Club Membership
fee is non returnable under any circumstances.
ASA Membership
Each squad member is required to hold ASA Membership. The Club will pay the ASA direct
and recover the full cost from each swimmer. All Club Officials and at least one
parent must also be registered with the ASA. The level of fee is available direct
from the ASA, however members will be notified of the date of collection and cost
by the Club. There are no pro rata reductions for those registering mid year. The
ASA Membership Fee is normally collected in January. The ASA Membership fee is non
returnable under any circumstances.
Payment Methods
Acceptable methods of payment are:
Cheque made payable to Killerwhales SC

Standing Order Mandates are available on request from the Club Treasurer
Code of Conduct
The Codes of Conduct are designed to assist in the smooth and safe running of the Club and also assist in the prevention of child abuse.
Unfortunately there are times where disciplinary issue will arise it is therefore important that there are rules and structure procedures that can be followed in any such instance.
The Codes of Conduct will provide further protection for the children, members and officials of the Club.
Swimmers
Each and every swimmer is a member of the club, the club exists for the sole purpose to try and assist those who wish to attain their maximum potential in competitive swimming. The club will only remain successful so long as it has swimmers who want to be a member and as such abide to the club principles. All swimmers are asked to remember that they are a member of the Club and as such should avoid actions at any time that may bring the club and its name into disrepute. Above all swimmers shall:
have a good attitude at training, at galas and any other club activity;
always endeavour to arrive at training and galas on time;
display good sportsmanship, avoid all forms of gamesmanship and encourage fair play at all times;
not fight, swear or commit any other forms of unruly behaviour at any time whilst representing the club;
not make abusive, racial or discriminatory remarks towards any other swimmer, official or supporter;
wear the correct clothing and utilise the correct kit;
wear the correct club clothing during galas and other official functions, they shall endeavour to wear the club uniform to and from galas;
respect the wishes of the coaches at all times;
accept the decision of a gala official without protest, protest may only be made through official channels;
inform the coaches when they have injury or are feeling unwell;
inform the coaches in advance of any planned absences from training, and as soon as possible after any unforeseeable absences;
be responsible for any of the clubs equipment that is loaned to them;
be responsible for their valuables and possessions at galas and training;
make every effort to remain at galas until all other club members have competed unless circumstances dictate otherwise;
ensure that mobile phones are switched off on at minimum on silent during galas,
and not use mobile phones during training sessions;
Parents
Parents are also required to abide by this code of conduct. We expect that at all times parents to act in a proper manner in all dealings with the Club and their activities must not bring the Club into disrepute.
The Golden Rule when dealing with swimming related issues is to firstly talk to the Coach. By bringing concerns and complaints to the fore at an early stage, problems are often easily solved. If a Coach is unable to talk to you immediately, for instance during coaching sessions, please remember that they have responsibilities to all swimmers under their guidance. Agree a time with the Coach when you are both free and can discuss issues away from poolside if necessary.
If parents fail to meet acceptable standards of behaviour their children can be suspended from training or even be required to leave the Club.
Disciplinary & Complaints Procedure
The Club is committed to operating a fair and even handed disciplinary and complaints process. The Club operates a process with different stages, starting with an informal discussion but potentially leading to expulsion from the Club in exceptional circumstances.
This process is in line with the ethos of the ASA guidelines for managing internal conflict. This can be found at www.britishswiming.co.uk.
The procedure is applicable to the conduct of all Club Members.
The procedure operates as follows:
Stage 1 – Informal Meeting
This is initiated by breach of the Club’s Code of Conduct or complaint.
An informal discussion will take place between the Coach or Disciplinary Officer
of the Committee and the swimmer. In the case of a complaint by a Club Member this
shall be initiated by a letter to the Club Chairman.
If there is a subsequent breach or unresolved complaint then the procedure moves
to stage 2
Stage 2 – Formal Meeting
A more formal meeting involving the Swimmer, Parent, Club Disciplinary Officer and Coach will take place as necessary. Notes will be taken and a formal course of action agreed and recorded.
Failure to resolve or further breach leads to stage 3
Stage 3 – Disciplinary or Complaints’ Panel
Formal disciplinary hearing Chaired by the Club’s Disciplinary Officer or other relevant officer in the case of a complaint, plus at least two other Committee members not involved personally. Each party is given the opportunity to set out their case in turn (starting with those instigating the action) and call witnesses as necessary. The Panel can choose to consider the issue in private.
The outcome of the meeting will be reported back verbally by the Chair of the Panel as soon as possible and in every case a written decision will be issued within 5 working days. This panel has the power to suspend, set conditions for continued membership or expel a Club Member without further reference to the Committee.
Appeal
If either party is dissatisfied with the outcome of the process they have a right to make a Complaint to the Judicial Administrator at ASA Head Office, Loughborough.
Other
The Club reserve the right to move to any stage without passing through other stages if in the opinion of the Chairman of the Club the situation warrants it.
The Club also reserve the right to seek involvement of other ASA affiliated bodies
should it so wish. This may be for example, London Region ASA.
7 Galas
Success in swimming galas is the ultimate aim of Club members. From Club Galas to national finals they all can provide some of the most exciting times for swimmers and parents alike.
To help swimmers entering their first events we have produced the following information:
A Parents’ Guide to Galas
As your child progresses with their swimming, there will come a time to put all this training to use. On entering Super Group, he or she will be expected to attend a few galas each year. When they progress to the Junior Squad and beyond, this figure will steadily rise. A fixture list of galas is posted on the notice boards and the web site www.killerwhalessc.co.uk and is updated several times each year. This will tell you the venue, date and from which squads the swimmers will be selected. If your child cannot make any of the dates, please give your coach or the Competition Secretary a written note at least two months prior to the event to stop your child being entered. This becomes vitally important if they are in the Junior Squad or above, as they will be automatically entered for galas. You will be expected to provide transport for your child to and from the gala, a route map will be issued, and the maps can also be found on our web site.
There are two main types of galas that your child might be asked to take part in: League/Team galas and Open Meet galas.
League/Team galas are events where Killerwhales compete against other clubs, gaining points with each race that takes place during the gala. These galas are usually made up of individual races and team/relay races for the different age groups. Normally a swimmer can only compete in a maximum of two individual races, but may compete in as many relay events as he or she is picked for. The coaches will decide who swims in the individual races and the order and stroke of the relay team members. As a “rookie”, your child may be asked just to compete as a member of a relay team with more experienced swimmers given the responsibility of the individual events. A squad list is usually posted on the notice boards and the website, telling you the venue and the warm up/start time. You may be asked to pay a fee to supplement the expenses of teachers and coaches in attendance. If for any reason, you cannot make the gala, tell your child’s coach immediately so he/she can arrange for someone to take your place.
Open Meet galas are run all around the country, and are usually organised by one particular club, which advertises the Meet for anyone who wants to take part. The races are normally just individual events, with the fastest swimmers gaining medals or trophies. The open meets which your child will be asked to swim in and the events they do will be selected by their coach, starting with novice galas and building up to the harder licensed meets as he or she gets more proficient.
Most open meets use a signing out system where the promoters of the gala must be told, usually by the Club’s Coach, that swimmers will be withdrawn from specific events or whole sessions. Occasionally the reverse procedure applies where your child will be asked to sign in by signing their name against a printed list to indicate that they will be swimming. Very occasionally, an old system may be used where swimmers are issued entry cards in advance of the gala, one card for each event in which your child has been entered. The cards will usually be given to your child after a training session in the week preceding the gala. These cards have to be posted in special boxes or trays when you arrive at the gala and before each subsequent session.
On each card will be your child’s name, their entry time, the type of race, their competitor number and the event number. Please remember to bring these with you. If you do forget them, don’t panic - blank cards are normally available on the day and you will then have to write the information on them by hand.
You will be advised which type of entry system is to be used well in advance of the Gala, so please familiarise yourself and your child with the arrangements for that day. If you are in any doubt about what to do, just ask an official or your Coach.
Payment will be required to enter all open meet galas. They will usually cost £4 to £6 per event entered. You will also incur an extra charge called the “Coaches’ Supplement”, which is designed to offset the cost of having one or more coaches/teachers in attendance at the gala. The coaches are paid an attendance fee, travel costs and accommodation if applicable. Over the course of a season, these costs accumulate to several thousand pounds. You only pay the supplement if your child competes in two or more events; the cost being the entry fee for one event. For example, if the entry fee per event is £5, and your child enters four events, you will be charged £25 (£20 entry fee plus £5 Coaches’ Supplement).
Swimmers may have some races rejected from certain meets where there are too many entrants, with the slowest swimmers being rejected first. If this happens to your child, a refund for all rejected swims will be made. in The Coaches’ Supplement charge will also be refunded if your child is left with only one swim. Killerwhales will not refund any remaining swims if you subsequently decide not to attend; that money will be kept by the host club/organisation.
Your child will need to take the following with them to both types of gala:
· white Killerwhales swim hat
· red Killerwhales T-shirt
· navy Killerwhales track suit
· two pairs of goggles (to allow for loss or breakage)
· two swimming costumes/trunks
· two towels
· poolside shoes
· plenty of non-fizzy drinks
Drinks are very important, as your child needs to drink before, during and after the gala to avoid dehydration. The pool environment is very warm and they will get dehydrated; this will affect their performance and they will probably end up with a headache. Spectators need plenty to drink as well, or you too may end up with a headache. Avoid packing fizzy drinks and try to use instead isotonic drinks such as Lucozade Sport or similar. These drinks contain glucose for energy, plus minerals and salts to replace those lost through sweat. Some caution is needed, however, as prolonged use of these drinks can damage tooth enamel. Diluted squash or plain water are better than nothing. A few jelly-type sweets are also a good idea to bring along in case they get an attack of the nibbles, and they also help to keep up their energy levels. Avoid chocolate, as it will end up as a brown goo at the bottom of their bag.
DO NOT pack any glass bottles or cans. The gala will be cancelled if any broken glass gets into the pool.
As with any trip or event involving large numbers of children, things get lost and clothes go missing. Your child will be expected to wear a Killerwhales tracksuit and shirt when attending galas. Once you have purchased any item of club clothing or swimwear, always write your child’s name on the label. Valuables such as i-pods and mobile phones have all been lost at galas in the past. They are taken at your own risk and Killerwhales SC accepts no responsibility for lost, stolen or damaged possessions.
When you arrive at the gala, ensure your child posts their entry cards (if applicable) for the session and make your way to the spectators’ gallery. You will be charged an entry fee, which may include the price of a programme. If you want to take some still or moving pictures of the gala, you will need to sign a photographic register. This also includes mobile phones with built-in cameras. The register will normally be where you pay your entry fee. Please make sure your mobile is switched off when the children are racing. It would be very embarrassing if your phone went off just as the pool fell silent for the start of a race; it could also cause a false start.
If your child wishes to leave the gala before the end, make sure they have told their coach. Before your child leaves the pool, make sure they have packed all their belongings back in their bag. It may save you a lot of phone calls and possibly a return trip. Your child’s coach will deal with any questions you have regarding diet, both before and during a gala.
For any other gala-related questions you can contact the Competition Secretary (please refer to Who’s who at the end of this handbook).
If you decide to leave the Club you must give a minimum one month’s written notice
to the Club Secretary and must tell the Coach. You will continue to be liable for
all fees and charges until that notice period has expired, unless agreed in exception
by a member of the Club’s Executive.
All outstanding fees must be cleared and any balance will be refunded to you. If you have been entered for any galas you will still be liable for payment whether you choose to compete or not.
Any account queries are to be taken up directly with the Club’s Treasurer at the earliest opportunity.
The Club will retain the swimmers ASA membership until all outstanding fees have been cleared and can choose not to release their membership to another Club if debts are still outstanding.
We understand that good information is important to the smooth running of the Club.
