Club Links

Our Club Links programme encourages clubs to work together with learn to swim providers to transition learners from swimming lessons to club activity.

The programme is for all four aquatic sports (artistic swimming, diving, swimming and water polo) and each programme will be tailored to the needs of your club and the pool operator.

Affiliated clubs and pool operators can apply together for funding of up to 50% of club start-up costs.

The funding could potentially cover:

• a club programme of up to 12 weeks
• transition sessions to support a learners move from learn to swim to one of our aquatics sports
• coach and teacher fees
• pool time.
