•    Observe the authority and the decision of the officials and only question those decisions in the appropriate manner.
•    Treat all competitors and teams of other organisations with respect, whether that is in victory or defeat, and encourage all                  members to do the same.
•    Refer all child safeguarding concerns in accordance with the procedures detailed in Wavepower

•    At all times, adhere to Wavepower.

•    Treat all information of a personal nature about individual members as confidential, except in circumstances where to do so              would allow the child to be placed at risk of harm or continue to be at risk of harm.
•    Encourage all members to obey the spirit of the rules and regulations both in and out of the pool.
•    Never encourage or condone members, volunteers, officials or parents to violate the rules of the organisation or the sport, and          report any violations appropriately.
