- Having made demonstrable progress towards CDS aims and objectives
- Having maintained an up to date log book

Exit Criteria
A swimmer will be asked to leave the CDS if they :
- fail to observe the CDS Code of Conduct, Anti-Bullying Policy, Equity Policy and
Charters - fail to meet the CDS Aims and Objectives
- fail to meet the minimum CDS training and competition commitment and selection criteria
Having turned 11/12 years for the girls and 12/13 for boys as at the date of the next ASA Midlands Regional Age Group Championships, swimmers will be asked to make way for new swimmers by returning to their satellite club, after they have competed in the current year’s competition, IF they do not have COLSC Standard entry times or meet the LASA Youth Development squad entry criteria.
A swimmers place is always under review and a swimmer can be asked to return to their satellite club at any time throughout the year. At the CDS coach’s sole discretion a swimmer may be given one warning to improve, but this is not guaranteed. Any concerns relating to a swimmer will be improvement targets by the dates set by the CDS coach and the swimmer will be asked to return to their satellite club.
Expulsion from the CDS for any reason will prohibit access to the COLSC or LASA Youth
Development Squad in this or any future years unless the reason is based on the swimmers age
and/or the swimmer can prove to the relevant coach that there has been a demonstrable
improvement in the relevant area; the coach’s decision will be final.
