Swimmers must be clothed appropriately (i.e. not wearing only their swimming costumes/trunks) and wearing footwear before entering the pool’s spectator areas. Recently swimmers have been spotted running up and down the steps between poolside and the balcony via the spectator area which is exposing them to the risk of injury from slipping or falling.
Parents/Carers are only allowed poolside during training sessions when they are undertaking the role of poolside helper, for example, on race nights. For hygiene reasons anyone who is poolside, including swimmers and coaches, should wear footwear that is used poolside only. If you wish to wear footwear that has been used for other purposes please use the blue shoe covers located outside the Changing Village.
We appreciate your cooperation with these matters.
