Lyme Splash Water Polo ChampionshipEvent Details
Lyme Splash is launching the fifth Lyme Splash Water Polo Sea Championship 2024 to take place on Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th August starting at 07.20 on Saturday & 8.00 on Sunday.
There are two floating pitches at The Pool, at the back of The Cobb Centre, on The Cobb, Lyme Regis in front of the pontoons.
All players must be insured under ASA rules.
In conjunction with the Harbour Master and the Lyme Splash committee the following code of conduct must be agreed by anyone attending the championship.
Code of Conduct for Lyme Splash Sea Water Polo Championship:
Our championship takes place in Lyme Regis Harbour with kind permission of Dorset Council. It is a working harbour and we share it with local businesses, local harbour users and tourists.
All behaviour should respect other users, the safety of all and be a testament to Water Polo and as a opportunity to attract more young people to the game.
- Any request should be asked politely and if there are any access issues they should go through a member of the Lyme Splash Crew.
- No one is allowed on the pontoons except time keepers, referees for each game, one coach per team and substitutes.
- No clothing allowed on the pontoons – there will be a designated area for clothing of those in the water nearby. (Substitutes will probably need a dry robe / towel and water bottle, but they can be kept tidy within a specific area)
- No swearing – either at players, or players at each other – in or out of the water.
- Referees need to respect and be respected, and represent and ensure others adhere to the rules of the game and every team and its members are treated, and treat each other, fairly and without prejudice.
- Players and officials must not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Anyone who is suspected to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be prevented from taking part for the safety of themselves and others taking part.
Entry cost is £110 per team
