DISCIPLINE

When discipline is used it should be with the clear intention of teaching or reinforcing appropriate behaviour.  It must not be used impulsively, to gain power, or to embarrass or humiliate a child.

Discipline should be used only to: -

¨      Develop a sense of responsibility for behaviour.

¨      Develop respect for others and their property.

¨      Reinforce the rules or values of swimming.

¨      Reinforce positive behaviour or attitudes.

¨      Reinforce awareness of health and safety aspects of the activity.
