The small pool will be available for continuous warm up and cool down, however in the event of mis-use of this facility, Wigan Life Centre reserve the right to close it at any time. Access to this pool is via the changing village, the poolside may also be used by clubs as it will be less crowded in this space. Swimmer using this pool must be supervised by a coach or team manger.

Withdrawals
Withdrawals must be made before the start of the warm up of the session the swimmer is due to swim in. Please either complete a form at the timing desk, text (07599895830) or email (rick@wiganswimmingclub.org.uk). Please feel free to text withdrawals at any time as this a club phone and will on be switched on when needed. Please state the swimmers name plus the event number and competitor number of each event they wish to withdraw from.

Coaches & Team Manager
Coaches & Team Managers passes will be issued from the front desk, passes must be worn at all times, anyone not wearing a pass will be asked to leave the poolside, all coaches will be provided with a start list.

Medals
Medals will be awarded on the North Galley, which is above the entrance on the first floor. Swimmers are required to be adequately covered and wearing something on their feet when leaving the poolside.

Results
A projected scoreboard will be used on the far wall again, where both swimmers and spectators can see it. Results will be uploaded to our website throughout the day at http://wiganswimmingclub.org.uk/starter start lists and PDF results will also be available online. Results and Start lists will also be displayed on the balcony and on the poolside.

Marshalling
Marshalling will be via the changing village and signs will be put up to direct swimmers, as will be using group changing entrance for marshalling. Swimmers and coaches should families themselves and report to marshalling promptly.

Parking
At pervious meets some people have been court off guard by parking, so I have attached a map of parking surround the pool. Harrogate Street and Chapel Lane car parks are both FREE to park on a Sunday, Euro Car Parks charge a nominal daily charge £2.50 last time I checked. Grand Arcade Multi-storey is very costly will cost you £16.00 for the day and has court a lot of people out as it is right next to the pool. Street Parking is available but very very limited, the Civic Centre also has a small pay and display car park, which is £1.90 for all day.

Kind Regards
