Equipment Rules

General

Romsey Sub-Aqua Club is very fortunate to have a very good training pool.

RomseySAC has used the pool at St. Edwards for over 10 years. It is the objective of the club to maintain a good relationship with the school in order that we may maintain the use of the pool.

The committee asks each of it's members to remember that we are guest of the school and each member should show respect to the school and it's premises.

The designated spoke persons for the club are the Chairperson and Diving Officer and any communication to the school should be made through them.

The pool has been damaged in the past, and RomseySAC is very conscious that a set of rules are laid down that will prevent scuba gear from damaging tiles within the pool
