Help Required

Hopefully not too much longer until we get news about training starting back. Prior to this we need help. Under guidance from Scottish Swimming we require to have a COVID Liaison officer at every session. The more people we have helping out the better as you may only be asked to help out at one or two sessions per week under instruction of the Lead COVID officer.

We also require a COVID Lead Officer to join the committee to assist in support and co-ordinate the Liaison officers.

have attached a copy of the job descriptions from Scottish swimming. If you are interested helping please contact me on info@bellshillsharksasc.co.uk or 07800798557.

Payment for swims

Please be advised that when Sharks swimmers are entered in a gala the club has to pay the host club in full and up front for all the events that each swimmer has chosen to compete in.

When the list of accepted swims is published we are then informed of swimmers that have been scratched from any events. The club will receive a full refund for any scratched swims and we would not expect anyone to pay for a scratched swim. All other swims (including reserve swims) are then due to be paid for.

If a swimmer has a reserve swim then the expectation is that the swimmer will attend the gala. If the swimmer doesn’t get the reserve swim for any reason then the club will receive a full refund for that swim. If the swimmer gets the reserve swim or fails to turn up for that event then the refund will not be due back to the club.

Attending galas is the biggest single external expense that the club has and it is vital that all payments are received within a reasonable timeframe. If anyone is ever unsure about what they are due to pay for any events you can get details at the desk every Wednesday night. If you are unable to attend on a Wednesday please contact treasurer@bellshillsharksasc.co.uk and we will supply the details.
