“All sanctioned Swim
Manitoba or SNC meets under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Section shall be
governed by the Swim/Natation Manitoba Harassment and Abuse Policy. A
recommendation coming from the Harassment and Abuse Committee states that the
deck be reserved for swimmers, coaches and volunteers assigned specific tasks in
the running of the meet. The referee and meet management will have the full
authority to request that any individual, who is perceived to be interfering
with the peace and security required for any athlete to achieve his/her best
potential, is to leave the deck, or indeed the spectator area should their
conduct be viewed as having a negative impact on any athlete in the
competition.”
