Talent ID in England
Talent assessment days take place throughout the UK to find potential new athletes.
HUB CLUBS/ASSESSMENT CENTRES
Hub Clubs are local swimming clubs that work in partnership with the ASA to provide an assessment opportunity for any swimmer with a disability.
During the session swimmers will be asked to complete basic swim skills and assessment tasks to determine their ability level.
After the initial assessment swimmers will be directed to appropriate swimming provision best suited to the individual swimmer to ensure that every swimmer has the best opportunity of reaching their full potential. This could include local authority, Learn to Swim Schemes, local Swimming clubs or regional squads and team structures.
TALENT IDENTIFICATION/DEVELOPMENT DAYS
Hosted regionally by the ASA, Talent Identification Days are designed to unearth potentially talented swimmers not already involved in disability swimming who can be signposted into high quality swimming provision and supported to develop and progress through the disability swimming pathway.
The next Talent ID days will take place in Novemeber 2012. The venues are yet to be confirmed, however keep checking and more information will appear here later (if you are from Scotland or Wales check their sites for more info).
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
At Talent Identification Days swimmers will be required to swim lengths so that potential talent can be assessed.
Following these days swimmers will be provided with further information regarding the most appropriate opportunities available to them.
For more information on assessment days being held in your area please contact your region.
