Poolside
A swimming register must be taken before every swimming session. In order for this to be taken quickly and effectively, all swimmers must be poolside and changed before the lesson starts. Any swimmers more than ten minutes late for their session without prior notice or good reason will not be allowed to participate in that session.

The register is taken for our swimmers' safety. In an emergency they can be identified and crossed off the list. When swimmers arrive late and start swimming they may not be entered on the register and could therefore be 'missed' in an emergency.

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

Look after your valuables
To reduce the risk of theft from your own vehicle please remember not to leave anything valuable, or which might be tempting, in view while you’re at the pool.

Keep off the field
Orion SC hires the swimming pool. That's all we hire. You have no right to use the playing fields or any other King Edwards School facility. If you go on the field, you are trespassing, you are causing us problems, you are a nuisance, you are causing damage. You may well be asked to leave the grounds.

The ASA
The Amateur Swimming Association is the English national governing body for swimming, diving, water polo, open water and synchronised swimming. Not surprisingly, it has its own website which can be seen here.

West Midland Region
Orion is affiliated to the ASA via the West Midland Region. They also have a website which can been seen here
Club Logo

The Club logo shows Orion from Greek mythology. Orion was a gigantic huntsman who was set amongst the stars as the constellation of the same name. Our swimmers will hopefully 'reach for the stars' as well.
