What is the Swim England South East Channel Island Support Scheme?
Swim England South East recognises that athletes and coaches based in the Channel Islands face additional costs when travelling to Regional Talent Camps, Coaches Workshops, and the practical elements of Institute of Swimming coaching courses.

– Support may also be considered for a travelling tutor, where feasible. - Travel must be from the Channel Island to the event location.
- Expenses must relate directly to attendance at the event and may include travel and accommodation.
- Funding must be applied for before the event takes place.
How much funding is available?
- Up to 50% of the eligible costs
