WHAT IS SWIM 21
Many
of you will have heard people
talk about Swim 21 but how many
of you actually know what it is
all about?
Swim 21 is an initiative brought
in by the ASA. It is the ASA’s
swimmer Development Programme
for the 21st century.
Swim 21 is the ASA’s club
development model – a planning
tool, enabling clubs to help
swimmers, coaches and
administrators achieve their
full potential. It is centred
around the needs of the swimmers
– striving to provide them with
the best possible environment.
It is regarded as the back bone
of the ASA’s development
programme and the more a club
puts into the process, the more
it will get out of it.
The ASA has three key aims which
are reflected in the Swim 21
programme.
- To
ensure that everyone has the
opportunity to learn to swim.
- To
provide pathways to ensure
everyone can achieve their
potential.
- To
win GOLD medals on the world
stage.
The
aim of Swim 21 is: “to provide
appropriate opportunities
for swimmers at each stage
of their development, in
order that they will
achieve their full
potential.” To
achieve this there are 5
clear goals, these are:
- To
provide a nationally
recognised Club Development
programme.
- To
establish a network for clubs
- To
provide clear pathways for
individuals through the club
structure
- To
guide clubs through the Action
Planning process.
- To
incorporate a partnership
approach to the delivery of
swimming locally.
What swim 21 can do for
the swimmers:
- Provide
a guide on how much water time
they should ideally have at
any stage of their
development.
- Introduce
land training as an integral
part of the swimmer’s training
programme.
- Provide
access to coaches who are
qualified, knowledgeable and
informed.
- Promote
appropriate opportunities for
competition whatever the level
of swimmer.
- Highlight
the position of their club in
relation to the swim 21
national network of clubs.
What swim 21 can do for
your club:
- Provide
a framework for the
development of a club
structure, both administrative
and competitive.
- Encourage
the club committee to think
long term and put Development
on the agenda.
- Open
a dialogue between clubs and
their Local Authority and
other organisations, which
hopefully will lead to joint
planning.
- Establish
a partnership with other swim
clubs in the area to support
talented swimmers.
- Provide
examples of good practice to
guide club Development work.
- Give
your club a swimmer centered
focus.
There are four
levels for accreditation, Teaching, Skill
Development, Competitive
Development and Performance
and this enables Clubs to
be assessed according to the
main focus of their
activities. Although the
levels are of course
different, the standards
required in terms of planning
and operational excellence are
equal. .
