Practice Policies
The coaching staff determines the swim season’s practice schedule. Practice times can be requested through WhatsApp or found on our committed swimming plan for the week. Log-in details can be organised through the club. Swimmers are asked to be ready 10 minutes prior to the start of practice and picked up within 10 minutes of the end of practice.
Threshers Swimming Club offers practices multiple times a week, and families have the freedom to decide how many practices their swimmer attends. However, Bronze, Silver and Gold, groups are required to attend a specific percentage of practices every month. While Threshers values well-rounded development and understands that swimmers may have other commitments, coaches appreciate advance notice of any absences from practice due to overlapping schedules.
There are no make-up lessons.
Members need to ensure that they attend all training . For more information please
refer to Appendix F in the Club Handbook.
Cancellation or Change
If practice needs to be cancelled or changed due to a mechanical breakdown, inclement weather, or an unforeseen event, every attempt will be made to communicate the cancellation/change as soon as possible via WhatsApp or a direct call.
Training Groups
Coaches have the final determination of a swimmer’s group placement. This is a complex decision and often takes age, ability and commitment level into consideration.
Complaints and Grievances
At Threshers Swimming Club Oman, we are committed to providing our members with the best possible service. However, we understand that at times, you may have concerns or complaints that you wish to raise with us. We have therefore developed this policy to provide you with guidance on how to raise your concerns, and how we will address them. Please see the procedures laid out in the Club Handbook.
