Swimmers selected for 2023-24 National Youth Development Programme

October 5, 2023

A new cohort of swimmers have joined the Swim England National Youth Development Programme (NYDP) for 2023-24 after an induction day in Loughborough.

More than 90 athletes have been selected for the programme, which is the fourth step on the Swim England Talent Pathway.

This stage of the pathway is for 14-15-year-old swimmers and para-swimmers to continue to develop their technical and tactical race skills and improve their race day performance.

Swimmers were chosen following their impressive performances throughout the 2022-23 season, delivering great swims on the highest stages at the British Summer Championships and Swim England’s National Summer Meet.

The ultimate goal of the talent programme is to continue their development to help ‘guarantee the delivery of quality English swimmers and coaches on to British Swimming’s World Class Programmes’.

Last weekend, the group were welcomed with an induction camp at Loughborough College which focused on a number of key areas including reflective practice, utilising resources such as UKAD and understanding the role a support network can play in their development.

The day was split into four different workshops where the athletes and parents got the opportunity to hear from Swim England Talent staff and Olympic bronze medallist, Cassandra Patten.

The Beijing 2008 medallist shared her experiences in the sport and spoke about her journey, successes and challenges throughout her career.

Diane Elliot, Swim England’s sports science and sports medicine manager, then delivered an educational and interactive session for athletes on UKAD before Swim England National Talent Officers, Tom McManus and Carl Cooper, led a session on goal setting and reflective practice.

Parents also got the opportunity to hear from Tom and Carl who provided them with information and guidance on how they can help support their child’s journey.

A number of camps are set to take place throughout the year as the season gets underway, with athletes also taking part in regular educational sessions and competitions across the next 12 months.
