Swimfit targets Big Splash swimmers with free scheme
Posted on 05 Oct 2011 at 10:13 by Joan Massie (0 user comment)
Swimming for 30 minutes a week can drastically cut the risk of illness, while research has proven it can also improve your mood and reduce stress, anxiety and depression. Despite this, over one in five adults in the UK cannot swim and many more are still unaware of the various benefits and initiatives that are available to enjoy. One scheme aimed at encouraging people to get in the pool is Swimfit, a free, online club that provides its 50,000 current subscribers with gym-style workouts in the water, each catered to individual swimming goals.

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.
