  • How do I apply? Clubs are asked to submit their improvement plan when submitting for their swim21 accreditation or submitting for their annual swim21 revalidation or reaccreditation.  The improvement plan is required to highlight the clubs key actions in priority order and be fully costed.  This plan will be used by the North West grant panel to decide how much the club will be awarded. The panel can also put forward four clubs for the British Gas Club Grant for consideration at each national swim21 panel.  This is decided by reviewing the clubs progress and plans for the future, so again the improvement plan and progress reports are key documents. For more information and an improvement plan template please email: swimnorthwest2@swimming.org
