The New Swimming Club Awards Have been added to our program

The six progressive Swimming Club Awards help children make the transition from the Swim England Learn To Swim Programme to a club level swimmer. This session will be an option following on from the Challenge awards.

All the awards have to be delivered and assessed by a qualified level 2 swim coach. Level 3 Coach Mark Crouch will deliver this session. Swimmers achieving Level 2 of this award can then be recommended to a competitive club.
