The swimming pool normally operates without qualified lifeguards and all adult swimming members agree as part of their terms and conditions to monitor and enforce the Pool Safety Operating Procedures (PSOP) and perform the supervision and accident prevention role of a lifeguard and deliver the alternative lifeguard measures.
If members consider the limitations, risks and hazards to be unacceptable, they cannot use the pool.
Prior to attending the safety induction the member must
The safety induction is designed to familiarise the member with the premises, pool, equipment and explain how to act in case of an emergency or incident. As part of the induction, the member is required to demonstrate:
The member needs to demonstrate they are a competent and capable swimmer either as part of the induction or during their next swim sessions (or diver training if applicable).
Swimmer Competency Test
Our insurance requires us to verify and confirm every pool user is a competent and capable swimmer. You can choose to either demonstrate this immediately following your induction or alternatively arrange for another member to assess you when you first start using the pool. Just get the member to email membership@sasac.co.uk to say they witnessed you successfully demonstrate your swimming abilities to the standard described on the webpage: https://sasac.co.uk/psop/#appendix-3.
We record the date/time and assessor details on your membership profile record along with the date of your induction and your safety (PSOP) assessment.
Planned Induction sessions are published below.
To book your induction session
Remember to dress appropriately for the prevailing outside weather conditions as the session are run outdoors and use the session to ask any questions you have about the club. On being successfully inducted you will be given your membership/access card and a key to access the building.
Induction sessions are run on demand and are cancelled when nobody confirms they are attending
