The Olympians Swimming Appeal Policy outlines the process for Participants to appeal decisions made by the organization. The policy emphasizes a fair and expedient process, granting any Participant directly affected by a decision the right to appeal, provided sufficient grounds exist. These grounds include decisions made without authority, procedural errors, bias, or unreasonable outcomes. The policy details the steps for submitting an appeal, including timelines, required documentation, and associated fees. It also outlines the role of the Appeal Manager in screening appeals, determining affected parties, and deciding the hearing format. The policy concludes by outlining the appeal hearing procedure, decision-making process, confidentiality, and the final and binding nature of decisions.
