Swim 21
Swim 21 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 on 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 aim of swim 21 is : to provide appropriate opportunities for swimmers at each stage of their development, in order that they achieve their full potential. Swim 21 provides MBSS with the following:
A framework for the further development of the club, both administrative and competitive.
It encourages the committee to think long term.
It encourages further dialogue between MBSS and local authorities and other organisations, resulting in joint planning.
It further strengthens the partnerships with other swimming clubs in the area to support talented swimmers.
It provides examples of good practice to guide club development work.
It gives MBSS a swimmer centred 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. Presently MBSS has been awarded Competitive Development
