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. This is an opportunity be ambassadors and to attract more people, especially young people, to the game.

1. Any request should be asked politely and if there are any access issues they should go through a member of the Lyme Splash Crew.

2. No one is allowed on the pontoons except time keepers, referees for each game, one coach per team and substitutes must stay within the designated area until called.

3. No clothing allowed on the pontoons – there will be a designated area for clothing of those in the water nearby. Substitutes can bring a dry robe / towel and water bottle, and kept tidy within their designated area.

4. No swearing – either at players, or players at each other, crew or officials- in or out of the water.

5. 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 or bias.

6. All of the rules that apply to the championship need to be communicated at least 4 weeks prior to the games to team captains via Lyme Splash and confirmed that this has also been communicated to the referees themselves.
