Becoming a swim21 Club

Share this page

The opportunity to gain swim21 accreditation is available to all of the ASA’s clubs, across any of the aquatic disciplines – diving, swimming, synchro or water polo. Our ultimate aim is to see all clubs accredited - find out why your club should…

swim21 Club Accreditation is a brilliant 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

As a swim21 club the ASA will provide you with resource materials to help develop the club and promote you and the swim21 scheme nationally and regionally. Click here to read more benefits about becoming accredited.

More about the process

swim21 is a 3-stage process:

  1.  First, clubs Audit their current position against a series of questions that are linked to nationally determined outcomes of good practice; 
  2. Then, based on their findings they produce an Improvement Plan that details the steps they need to take to address the gaps in their provision;
  3. Finally, when they feel these have been addressed and they have achieved the outcomes, they then apply to become an ASA swim21 Accredited Club by liaising with their Aquatic Officer/Regional swim21Representative.
