General
1. Athletes must maintain a high percentage of training attendance to be considered for selection.
2. Athletes must abide by the Leeds City Council and City of Leeds Swimming Club code of conduct at all times.

A large emphasis will be put on attendance when we consider swimmers for selection. I advise if your child  misses a  session that your son / daughter makes them up religiously so that you put your children in a strong position for selection on to the camp.
