An Integrated Approach to Swimming

The ASA South East Region Swimming Management Group will have a broad remit, covering all aspects of competitive and leisure swimming and integrating Disability and Open Water Swimming into a single “Whole Sport” strategy, incorporating

Learn to swim programmes and school club links
Competition
Encouragement of excellence through special camps for Junior and Youth Potential Squads and Coach education
Lifelong participation, including the growth of Masters swimming and swim-fit programmes

The Management Group for Swimming will be set up shortly. Anyone who is interested in participating should contact Mike Lambert, interim convenor for Swimming.

Disability Swimming

In line with the recommendations of the ASA, the South East Region will adopt a dual approach in support of disability swimming.

Disabled swimmers will be encouraged to swim alongside able-bodied swimmers in “mainstream” competitions; multi-disability events will be included in Regional championships.
Specialised disability events will be used to encourage the growth of disability swimming.

Licensed Meets

The South East Region’s responsibility for competition will extend to ensuring that all swimmers have the opportunity to compete at their own level, through the provision of appropriate licensed meets.

Where there is a need, the Region will support meets that are not financially viable.
