Several requests for separate interviews at the same time will be dealt with in order of deadlines. Media with the tightest deadline will be dealt with first. If photographers require access to members of the squad for non- action shots away from the competition then all requests should be made through the Press Officer. For all media interviews, athletes and staff will only wear British Swimming kit supplied for the event by the team sponsor apart from unbranded swimsuits. All interviews will only involve representatives of the British Swimming team. No persons outside of the team will be allowed to contribute to an interview involving a British Swimming squad member. No team member or programme-supported athlete is allowed to be part of any media team during camps or competitions, or to disclose or discuss activities during these events. There will be no access to athletes or coaching staff at the team hotel. It is requested that this privacy be respected. All media enquiries should be made to the Press Officer. If unavailable the media should approach the Team Manager. The Press Officer and Team Manager must both be aware of all media activity. Athletes can only talk about their own performance, coaches can only comment on athletes in their own specific group and not the overall team performance, the Head Coach can talk on the overall team and all matters. Support staff are unable to comment on performance.
