Swim 21

Swim 21 is the model the ASA uses, in conjunction with Sport England, for club development. It is a planning tool, based on the principles of long term athlete development, to enable 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 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.

Being accredited means the club is safe, well established, managed correctly with qualified coaches and is always looking to the future.
