This set
up and club
structure is based on principles defined in the Long Term Athlete
Development Protocol produced by the governing body, the ASA and
British Swimming. Swimmers are allocated to different areas depending
on age, ability and goals.
The Learn to Swim programme allows beginners to learn basic swimming skills and
technique. Click here
for more details. The
Training Scheme houses swimmers who have learnt to swim but want to
continue improving their skills, have a go a competing and generally
enjoy the health benefits related to swimming. This section
is
divided into 3 Zones defined below.
Advanced Skills – allows swimmers to develop those basic
skills
from learn to swim and take them further. Access to galas becomes
available if desired.
Club Zone - allows swimmers to train and compete in a more relaxed
social environment. Also allows swimmers who are late developers to
link in with the performance side.
Performance Centre - highly disciplined and committed swimmers who are
pursuing competitive excellence. The swimmer will be developed to
“Train to Win” on the LTAD framework.
Within each of these zones there are groups/classes of swimmers
commonly known as ‘squads’.
The Club Scheme
operates within this squad structure.
