TMBSC (the Club) will at all times aim to fulfil Swim England’s Equality Policy objectives which state:
"Swim England and its subsidiaries are fully committed to the principles and practice of equality of opportunity in all its functions: as an employer, membership organisation, awarding body, in its training and development of teachers and
coaches; involvement with officials and administrators; as an advisor to swimming pool designers and operators and as a facilitator of the aquatic disciplines by all its members. It is responsible for ensuring that no job applicant, employee, volunteer, member, service user or person within its jurisdiction (together ‘Stakeholders’) are
unlawfully discriminated against because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation (together the ‘Protected Characteristics under the Equality Act 2010’) or any other irrelevant characteristic".
Like Swim England, the Club considers that swimming should be a ‘sport for all;’ on that can and should be made accessible to everyone, to the greatest extent possible.
The Club is committed to ensuring that everyone has the right to enjoy sport in an environment free from threat of discrimination, intimidation, harassment and abuse.
All members of the Club (and parents of junior members of the Club) have a responsibility to challenge discriminatory behaviour and to promote equality of opportunity.
The Club will deal with any incidents of discriminatory behaviour seriously, in accordance with its disciplinary procedures.
