Wandsworth Swimming Club was successful this year in maintaining its Swim 21
accreditation at both Teaching and Skills Development levels. This is a
fantastic achievement for the club and recognises that we are committed to
providing safe and effective coaching of the highest standard for the benefit of
our swimmers. We have, as a result of working to achieve this standard,
introduced a number of changes to the club's procedures including development
pathways that aim to support all our swimmers to be the best they can. Our ethos
is to provide competitive swimming for all abilities working in partnership with
the local authority and this too has been recognised by this award. Swim 21 is the ASA's Club Development model - a planning tool, based on the principles of Long Term Athlete Development, enabling clubs to help athletes, teachers, coaches and administrators to achieve their full potential. It focuses particularly on the needs of athletes - striving to provide them with the best possible support and environment. Swim 21 Accreditation is a 'Quality mark'. It recognises nationally and regionally the clubs that are committed to providing safe, effective and quality services for the benefit of their members. Clubs work steadily towards the attainment of a series of outcomes all of which are seen as essential if the right level of support is to be provided at each stage of an athlete's development. Swim 21 Accreditation is available to ASA clubs of all aquatic disciplines that are positioned at one or more of the four levels of: • Teaching • Skill Development • Competitive Development • Performance The ASA has a commitment to achieving its equity targets throughout the sport. Swim 21 is no different and the Association is keen to support clubs in the shared objective of widening the participation base and hence the performance of the sport as a whole. |
