Isle of Wight Council and SLM have signed deals which will see them working alongside the national governing body for swimming until 2012. The National Plan is a template for learn to swim schemes, and means the

 

authorities will use the highest quality syllabus and awards system. The plan is a comprehensive and progressive teaching programme based upon sound technical and educational principles. The NPTS will run alongside the Kellogg’s ASA Awards Scheme and looks set to benefit the 2,700 people that currently access the swimming lessons across all of the centres each week. All partners will benefit from the additional support of the ASA business team as they work towards achieving Aquamark status – the ASA’s quality seal of approval.

 

ASA Commercial Director Katie Brazier is pleased to welcome the new partners on board. "The ASA is committed to providing our partners with the support they need to deliver quality learn to swim programmes,” she said. “We are pleased to

SUFFOLK SWIM WEEKEND OFFERS ACCESS TO ALL 24 May 2007 13:20

 

People in Suffolk are being given the opportunity to get in the swim through Everyday Swim’s Suffolk Swim Weekend running from 9-10 June.

The pioneering project, led by the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) and funded by Sport England, aims to break down the barriers of participation in swimming to affect a culture change across the country to get more people in the pool, and Suffolk Swim Weekend will target all people in the area. Regardless of age and ability, Suffolk Swim Weekend will give people the opportunity to get active in the pool for a taster session around the county. Suffolk County Council, Suffolk Strategic Partnership and Suffolk Sport, is coordinating the first ever Suffolk Swim

free but anyone wishing to take part in the adult learn-to-swim sessions should book in advance as demand is expected to be high and spaces are limited.

 

Up to one in five adults in the UK are unable to swim and statistics show a significant fall in participation swimming when people reach the age of 45. Many adults stop swimming when their children become independent enough to go swimming on their own, while a large number of adults never learn to swim because they didn’t have the opportunity at a younger age. Swimming is one of the few forms of exercise that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and is not weight-bearing so it can benefit all as it is not dependent on fitness or physical ability. Former Olympic swimming champion and Everyday Swim Ambassador Duncan Goodhew will be touring the county for

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story the Suffolk Swim Weekend to join in the fun and introduce local people to the benefits of swimming. “The Suffolk Swim Weekend is a fantastic opportunity for local people to find out what the county’s pools have to offer,” said Duncan. “There are so many activities going on in all seven districts, there’s something for everyone no matter what your swimming ability. “If you can’t swim or lack confidence in swimming the Suffolk Swim Weekend is a great opportunity to find out what you’re missing. I count myself lucky because I learnt to swim as a child but many people never had the chance. Around one in five adults can’t swim but if enough people sign up for the taster lessons we can reduce that figure in Suffolk and get more people into the pool for fun, fitness and good health.” Councillor Graham Newman, Suffolk County Council’s portfolio holder for Adult and Community Services wants as many people in the area to get involved in the event. “Suffolk Swim Weekend provides an excellent opportunity for the people of Suffolk to reignite their enthusiasm and appreciation of swimming and other pool activities,” “We have some great swimming facilities in the county and I would encourage individuals and families to get involved. By taking the plunge this weekend we all have the opportunity to make a positive impact on our general health and well being, and of course enjoy ourselves with friends and families.” Participating venues are as follows:

ASA URGES CHILDREN TO GET SAFE 4 SUMMER 24 May 2007 12:15

 

Children across the UK are being given the chance to learn vital life saving skills as part of the Amateur Swimming Association’s (ASA) Get Safe 4 Summer campaign.

SYNCHRO OPEN WATER WATER POLO MEMBER RESOURCES USEFUL DOCUMENTS DEVELOPMENT CLUB INFORMATION TEACHERS & COACHES FACILITY OPERATORS VOLUNTEERS & OFFICIALS MEMBER BENEFITS SCHOOL SWIMMING AASE AWARDS / BOOKS / VIDEOS SWIMFIT MAJOR EVENTS PHOTO GALLERY

On average, one person drowns in the UK every 17 hours and drowning is still the third highest cause of accidental death amongst children with most occurring in inland waters such as rivers, lakes and

 

ponds. The ASA will be working in partnership with the Royal Life Saving Society and the National PE, School Sports and Club Links Strategy (PESSCL) to deliver important water safety messages for children to take with them when they visit coastal and inland waters over the summer holidays. Get Safe 4 Summer is now in its fifth year and with the support of Britain’s top Olympic aquatic athletes over 1,500 children will be taught vital water safety skills at schools and leisure centres throughout June and July. Olympic swimmer Steve Parry learnt to swim after falling from a boat into the River Thames at the age of seven. “I remember that day and I was terrified,” he said. “I could have drowned and I’d hate for any other child to go through that. A few simple skills could be

 

the difference between life and death – it’s as simple as that – and the Get Safe 4 Summer campaign is a great way of reinforcing safety messages in a fun way.” “Teenage boys are most at risk of drowning, but hopefully by teaching them about the dangers at a younger age they will realise that bravado can easily turn into tragedy.” ASA Chief Executive David Sparkes realises the importance of the water safety campaign and sees it benefiting all children participating.

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story “As the national governing body for swimming we have a key role in promoting water safety,” he said. “We hope this year’s participating schools will see the benefit of the Get Safe 4 Summer campaign and we are committed to improving it even further by working with more schools and partners in the future to reduce the number of accidents in the UK.” -ENDSFor more information contact ASA Media Assistant Gemma Field on 01509 632262, 07917 726431 or email [email protected] Notes to the editors: Fact & Figures Every 17 hours someone in the UK drowns On average 450 - 500 people drown every year Drowning in this country is the 3rd highest cause of accidental death in children At least three quarters of drowning victims are male In 2005 75 children drowned whilst on holiday abroad   Drowning locations: Approx 20% of all drownings are at coastal locations Approx 62% of all drownings are at inland waters - rivers, lakes, canals, reservoirs etc The remaining 18% are roughly broken up as follows: Home baths - 10% Swimming pools - 4% Garden ponds - 3% Other - 1% The safest place to swim or bathe is a beach or swimming pool protected by qualified lifeguards Pre-school children are most at risk from the domestic environment: the bath, a garden pond or a water butt Older children are more vulnerable at open water sites, usually away from parental supervision.

Multi-Paralympic medallists David Roberts, Sascha Kindred and Nyree Lewis feature in a team of mixed experience. For the British contingent this meet gives them the opportunity to gain further race experience and preparation in what has been a competition training phase for them.

 

British athletes have been participating in competitive settings over a number of weeks, with athletes in different stages in this period of race preparation. National Performance Director for Disability Swimming, Tim Reddish, highlighted the significance of the meet for the British swimmers. “After what has been a heavy period of competition for our athletes, beginning with the VISA Paralympic World Cup for some, the German Open will give athletes and coaches an idea of how their race preparation has faired,” he said. “It will be interesting to see how the performances of the

 

swimmers vary as they are all at different stages of training at the moment.” “This competition is very well organised, and we have taken a cross section of athletes with us. The facility is one of the best in the world, and no extensive travelling has been involved making it an ideal meet for us.”

ASA INTRODUCES GROUND BREAKING LEVEL 3 QUALIFICATION 23 May 2007 15:51

 

The Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) is rolling out its highest available programme of coach education across the country as the sports governing body continues to introduce a framework of UK Coaching Certificate qualifications. The UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC) is a nationally recognised standard for coach and teacher education spearheaded by sports coach UK and is firmly centred on the needs of athletes.

 

A world-leader in teacher and coach education, the ASA is one of six sports to be involved in the first stage of the UKCC and the organisation continues to lead the way by delivering the Level 3 standard to close to 50 coaches over a nine-month period. The first group to undertake Level 3 was introduced to the first of 11 units, that go to make up the qualification, in Wolverhampton at the end of April and they’ll continue the learning process until January of next year. The first six units of the Level

 

3 qualification are generic in content while units seven to 10 will be sport specific. These will be concluded by November before candidates undergo the vocational unit 11 over a 12-week period. UKCC qualifications will ultimately be offered from levels one to four in teaching and coaching across all four aquatic disciplines. A flexible framework allows teachers and coaches to transfer

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story between disciplines, be assessed within their own environment and even learn online. A further distinction between teachers and coaches means individuals have the opportunity to pursue excellence within their chosen age group rather than having to progress to senior athletes in order to further their careers. ASA Assistant Coach Education Manager Alan Rapley, who has been instrumental in defining and delivering the new education standards, will be monitoring the progress of the Level 3 group and using valuable feedback to tailor future courses. ““We’ll be looking closely at this first group to see how the course is implemented and received. It will help us to determine if any changes or additions are needed in delivering what is a groundbreaking syllabus,” said Rapley.   “The new UKCC qualifications combine flexibility of learning with structured reward and recognition across all environments. “Whether you’re the very first teacher of a young swimmer or the coach of an Olympic athlete, your education will be recognised on a parallel level. “A major benefit of the UKCC is it includes core aspects that span all ASA disciplines, with initial modules concentrating on ‘how to’ skills and allowing people to develop at their own pace.” Level 3 courses are currently being delivered right across the country to groups based in and around areas such as Wolverhampton, Hatfield, Lancaster, Bristol, Leeds and Newcastle.

CLUBS AWARDED SWIM 21 STATUS 23 May 2007 15:45

 

The number of clubs now accredited under the Amateur Swimming Association’s (ASA) Swim21 scheme has risen to 335. The national governing body for swimming is well on its way to achieving its target of accrediting 800 clubs to its Swim 21 scheme by 2009 after fourteen more clubs made the grade at the May panel meeting. Swim 21 is the ASA’s club development model and has

 

been in operation since 2002. Reviewed and amended at the beginning of 2006, the application process is now more straightforward and the scheme has opened up to all disciplines. Swim 21 is recognised by Sport England as a Clubmark accredited scheme and therefore all clubs gaining Swim 21 accreditation will automatically receive Clubmark status. Based on the principles of Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD), Swim 21 encourages clubs to specialise in one of four areas; Teaching, Skill Development, Competitive

 

Development and Performance. It recognises nationally and regionally the clubs that are committed to providing safe, effective and quality services for the benefit of their members. Swim 21 National Chair Dave Flack is encouraged by the number of clubs

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story applying for Swim 21 accreditation. “Swim 21 is important for clubs,” he said. “It provides a springboard to launch your club to higher goals and even greater achievements at all levels.” “It has now been running for four years and the number of clubs receiving accreditation is promising, we are on our way to achieving 800 clubs accredited by 2009 and this figure is achievable. Since amending the scheme in 2006 we have seen an increase in the number of clubs working towards accreditation.” Flack sees Swim 21 as a way for clubs to develop the service that they provide and the skills of everyone working at the club. “There are many benefits of being accredited through the Swim 21 scheme but the main one is it gives clubs a clear focus on how to move forward and help develop their athlete’s skills further. Also the whole process holistically develops the whole club including volunteers and chairman. It is the ASA club development model and so gives everyone at the club the chance to progress.” Clubs interested in working towards the Swim 21 accreditation should contact their Regional Development Officer. The next panel meeting will be held on 15th August, and submissions should be made by 1st August. -ENDSThe clubs that received accreditation in this panel are listed below: NORTH EAST: Middlesborough Amateur

The seminars will give teachers the chance to share their thoughts, while improving their skills in the delivery of the NPTS, and are based on developing ideas and practices with the use of selected examples from the new syllabus.

 

Six NPTS specific seminars will be held from June 2007 and will give people an insight in the philosophy of the revised plan. The NPTS is a framework for learn to swim programmes, providing teachers with a clear and consistent approach for the structure and delivery of swimming lessons. All swimmers following the NPTS benefit from a quality assured scheme. Introduced in 1998, the NPTS is one of the most successful programmes ever introduced by a sports governing body and has become the preferred framework for the delivery of learn to swim lessons throughout the UK. It is underpinned by Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD), and incorporates all of the aquatic disciplines. To download the seminar flyer, please CLICK HERE. All seminars are being organised by the Regional Education Officers for the Amateur Swimming Association.

COUNCIL ACHIEVES ASA QUALITY STANDARD 23 May 2007 11:18

 

Cardiff Council has achieved Premier Status under the Amateur Swimming Association’s (ASA) Aquamark scheme.

MASTERS DIVING SYNCHRO OPEN WATER WATER POLO MEMBER RESOURCES USEFUL DOCUMENTS DEVELOPMENT CLUB INFORMATION TEACHERS & COACHES FACILITY OPERATORS VOLUNTEERS & OFFICIALS MEMBER BENEFITS SCHOOL SWIMMING AASE AWARDS / BOOKS / VIDEOS SWIMFIT MAJOR EVENTS PHOTO GALLERY

The council began the Aquamark evaluation at the end of last year and received their Premier status for the second time last month. The ASA is the national governing body

 

for swimming and Aquamark is its quality seal of approval for swimming lesson providers. It is an original and unique programme, designed specifically to help organisations providing swimming programmes to improve and enhance their service. Comprising four modules, operators are assessed on areas such as Programme Operation, Staffing, Customer Relations and Policy and Strategy. To achieve the top-level accreditation Premier status, a lesson provider must pass all four criteria. To achieve Approved status it must pass two of the four criteria. The council operates swimming lessons at seven centres across the city – Eastern Leisure Centre, Fairwater Leisure Centre, Llanishen Leisure Centre, Pentwyn Leisure Centre, Western Leisure Centre, Splott Pool and Maindy Pool. Currently over 222,000 people access the

 

swimming lesson programme each year and benefit from the National Plan for Teaching Swimming and the Kellogg’s Awards Scheme. Swimming Development Manager Shirley Bourge believes it is a real achievement to receive Aquamark accreditation twice. “I think the whole Aquamark process is great,” she said. “It is really useful to have guidelines to work towards. To achieve Premier status is really hard work and to have been accredited for the second time is really good recognition for the hard work of everyone at the centres.” ASA Business Manager Mandy Mason is

Swimming will strive to achieve a drugs free environment through a continuous education programme.

The importance of swimming in society has been recognised by Parliament via the House of Commons Select Committee on Culture Media and Sport through the paper “Testing the Waters: The Sport of Swimming.” In this paper, it is noted, “reference to swimming within an overall plan for sport is no substitute for a specific strategy on swimming.” This documents sets the Vision to provide the basis for that strategy.

• We will police the sport both in and out of competition • within a framework of athlete friendly procedures that • deal with doping infractions in a timely and just manner

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Delivering the sport with integrity

This Vision sets out the future direction for the sport and aims to build on the foundations that have already been laid. The sport will continue to exploit all opportunities available, to strengthen and develop the infrastructure, focusing on the needs of the competitor or participant at all times.

We recognise the importance of ensuring that our business activities follow best practice in corporate governance and clear lines of responsibility, accountability and reporting are in place.

Those involved in the delivery of the sport from within a National Governing Body recognise that they have a responsibility for all who participate in any of the aquatic disciplines at any level regardless of whether they are outside the current scope of membership.

Swimming will: • Ensure that our business processes are robust and will • stand the test of internal and external scrutiny • • • •

All involved in the governance of the sport comply with the seven principles of public life: selflessness, openness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, honesty and leadership

Those involved in the governance of our sport will use this Vision to set corporate and operational plans with clear objectives and measurable targets. Through the publication of this Vision and the development of clear corporate and operational plans with targets and measurable outcomes we will provide: • Opportunities for everyone to learn to swim • Opportunities for everyone to participate in any of the • aquatic disciplines they choose at the level to which • they aspire • Opportunities to swim for health and fitness • Opportunities to enable those with the ability and the • desire to achieve gold medal success at Olympic • and Paralympic Games

a vision for swimming SWIMMING’S GAME PLAN Introduction

THE VISION Swimming in the 21st Century

“Sport touches the lives of more people, engages more participants and trained volunteers and achieves a greater impact on the international stage than any other activity. It has the capacity to positively impact on the health of the nation, influence educational attainment and behaviour, engage disaffected young people and serve as a positive capacity building tool for social inclusion.” [1]

A Vision for swimming was first published ten years ago. The objectives have now been attained and it is time to re-cast our Vision in the light of a rapidly changing environment. This revised Vision for the twenty-first century takes into account changes in the political arena, technological advances, funding opportunities and lifestyle changes. Created in consultation with members and commercial partners it will ensure that the sport develops in partnership with its members and relevant organisations assisted by significant funding from the Lottery and Exchequer.

Swimming is arguably the only sport that provides opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to participate, at all levels, whether it be recreational, acquiring a life skill, swimming regularly to maintain health and fitness, enjoying a variety of water-based activities safely, achieving personal goals or winning medals on the world stage.

This document is a Vision for the sport of swimming. Delivery of the goals, aims and objectives will be through the detailed work outlined in corporate and operational plans developed by British Swimming, Home Country Associations, Partners and Clubs. These plans will ensure that the global Vision for the sport is delivered locally taking into account regional variances.

Swimming is the nation’s most popular sporting activity with 22% of adults and 50% of children swimming regularly. [2] The Amateur Swimming Association (ASA), the Scottish Amateur Swimming Association (SASA) and the Welsh Amateur Swimming Association (WASA) are the National Governing Bodies responsible for governing swimming in England, Scotland and Wales respectively. These three Associations are the constituent members of British Swimming which is responsible for managing the elite aspects of the sport within Great Britain. British Swimming also represents Great Britain on the European and World Governing Bodies (LEN and FINA) [3] and as such deals with all international issues and doping.

This Vision sets out the sport’s priorities of ensuring that the sport is accessible to all, regardless of age, gender, creed, ethnic origin, economic position, disability or level of ability. The Government believes that a good sports policy is also a good health policy; helping to prolong a fit and active lifestyle; a good education policy providing young people with the motivation to stay with their schooling; a good anti-crime policy giving young people a sense of purpose and pride. Sporting success also inspires the nation to celebrate achievement in tangible terms – improved morale, higher productivity for example.

British Swimming focuses purely on the elite aspects of the sport, events and performance. The Home Countries are involved in the promotion and development of the sport at all levels from learn to swim to elite performance including a clear focus on the Commonwealth Games.

Swimming has a strong, skilled, well-trained volunteer network and a solid club foundation that ensures that it delivers in all the above areas. Through this Vision swimming will ensure that it is a sport that is inclusive to all, has strong modern corporate governance and provides the opportunity for lifelong participation and personal achievement.

SWIMMING’S MISSION Swimming is a sport for life

LEARN TO SWIM The magic moment

To ensure everyone has an opportunity to learn to swim

The Government has recognised the importance of ensuring that children learn to swim by encouraging schools to ensure that all children can swim at least 25m unaided at primary school age.

To ensure everyone can achieve his or her personal goals

Swimming is a life skill. In 1999, 569 people drowned in the UK. Whilst there have been significant improvements since 1860 when 2,264 people drowned in the UK there is an alarming increase in the number of children under 14 years who drowned – 36 in 1998; 54 in 1999. [4]

To ensure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy swimming as part of a healthy lifestyle

Our aim is to assist in the continued reduction in the number of people drowned in the UK each year. Swimming will:

To ensure that we achieve gold medal success

• Continue to promote National Plans for Swimming • Teaching in all the Home Countries through training • and continuing professional development • • • • •

Ensure that school and swimming teachers have the necessary skills to deliver a standardised quality experience linked to a recognised awards scheme whilst offering encouragement through a progressive • teaching programme

• • • •

Work closely with the Government’s Education departments to provide additional opportunities for children to learn to swim who have not reached a target of being able to swim 25m

• • • •

Work closely with Government Agencies to develop resources and set “kite marked standards” that provide a framework for delivering water safety in the pool and in the classroom

• Continue to work with the Government and other • agencies to develop policies that will ensure quality • delivery of learn to swim at school • Assist schools and other appropriate agencies to • provide all children with an awareness and • understanding of water safety • • • •

two

Ensure that children are made aware of the difference between swimming 25m in a supervised, heated indoor pool and swimming in a cold, exposed expanse of open water

a vision for swimming LIFELONG PARTICIPATION Staying in the water

SWIMMING FOR HEALTH Prolonging life

Swimming is already the major participation sport amongst young people and we will continue to work to ensure that everyone learning to swim continues to benefit from participation in the sport throughout their lifetime.

Swimming has long been acknowledged as an activity that is beneficial to the nation’s health. Maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle at all times of life is a prime consideration and one which swimming can and does deliver.

Swimming will:

Swimming will:

• • • • •

Continue to strengthen its links with schools, local authority schemes and private swim schools to encourage children to migrate from learn to swim programmes to organised club swimming or fitness programmes

• Work in partnership with all agencies to encourage • swimming at all levels and ages

• • • •

Continue to work with schools to ensure that children are made aware of the different aquatic disciplines and given an opportunity to try diving, synchronised swimming, open water swimming and water polo

• • • •

Continue to provide comprehensive pathways for swimmers to develop to their full potential through programmed activities linked to the long-term athlete development model

• Work with local authorities to encourage partnership • schemes between clubs, fitness sessions and local • GP surgeries • Expand opportunities for lifelong fitness swimming • at levels appropriate to each individual

ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT Achieving individual potential The development of swimmers to their full individual potential is an important factor and we will achieve this by ensuring that all swimmers have the right environment at each stage of their career.

• Encourage the development of Masters swimming • through the expansion of the competitive programme • for adult swimmers

Swimming will:

• Continue to develop programmes that provide • opportunities for fitness swimming for all ages at • levels and times to suit each individual

• • • • • • • • • •

• Continue to develop and expand opportunities for • everyone to participate in the sport at the level they • • choose, for their entire lifetime

Build all programmes around a well-researched long-term athlete development model (LTAD.) The LTAD provides details of achieving optimal training, competition and recovery throughout an athlete’s career, particularly in relation to the important growth, maturation and development years of young people. It is a vitally important planning tool which provides the required strategic context to enable the provision of an infrastructure that focuses totally on the needs of the swimmer at all stages of their development

• Continue to develop seamless pathways from early • skill development to the Olympic podium • Ensure all programmes, such as coach development, • club development and sports science contribute to • these areas • Provide a comprehensive coach education programme • for coaches at all levels

EXCELLENCE Swimming to win

VOLUNTEERING Self fulfilment

Swimming remains focused on the achievement of success at Olympic and Paralympic level.

The voluntary sector plays a key role in the delivery of swimming throughout the country and the sport thrives thanks to the tireless efforts of many.

Swimming will: There are 30,000 volunteers involved in swimming in the UK, which represents approximately 2.75 million hours work per year at a value of 30 million pounds.

• Continue to source and nurture world-class coaches • Utilise the best training facilities for our elite athletes

Swimming requires additional volunteers for the increasing work that is needed to be done. Volunteering is no longer an informal, casual commitment. Child Protection, grant conditions, accountability and public expectations mean volunteering has become increasingly more onerous.

• All programmes will be athlete centred and will be • linked to ensure that there are no barriers to success • Provide a comprehensive sport science and medicine • programme

The traditional recruitment methods are changing and strategies for the continuing recruitment, training and development of our volunteers are required to ensure that we continue to harness and develop the skills required to achieve our aims and objectives.

• Press for more facilities and better access to those • that already exist • Provide a comprehensive, structured competition • programme based on the Long Term Athlete • Development Model

Swimming understands what motivates volunteers and will continue to develop the partnership that enables the goals of the sport to be achieved.

• Ensure that those with the ability to succeed at the • highest level will receive the support they need to • reach to win Gold medals

Swimming will: • • • • • •

INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCE Making a difference to world swimming Swimming is an Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth sport with 170 nations competing throughout the world. Great Britain seeks to exercise influence by representation at World and European level through a programme that promotes, supports and develops international representatives on European and World bodies. Swimming will: • Through the staging of major international events we • will seek to link our performance to the programmes to • influence world swimming strategy and politics

Continue to progress its volunteer policies and strategies to ensure the continued development of a valued and effectively supported workforce that is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and skilled, which works towards clearly stated goals, for the benefit of all aspects of the sport

a vision for swimming FACILITIES Providing access to all

PARTNERSHIPS Working together in harmony

The provision of suitable and appropriate facilities for the needs of the sport is fundamental. There is a need to ensure the individual needs of the community and the different aquatic disciplines are addressed, including the need to ensure adequate training facilities and the facility requirements for major events.

Swimming’s aims are pursued in the close co-operation and collaboration with a number of partners including clubs, schools, local authorities, universities, government departments, the private sector and commercial partners.

The National Facilities Strategies will continue to provide much needed guidance material for the provision of adequate facilities for all aquatic disciplines.

• Continue to recognise the importance that the club • structure is the backbone of the sport and continue • to develop strong links with its members

Swimming will:

• Continue to promote and foster these links and • develop new links and opportunities to ensure the • continued achievement of our objectives

• • • • •

Work closely with local authorities, universities, funding agencies and the Government to ensure that a comprehensive, affordable and hierarchical network of facilities is developed to service the future demands of the community and the sport

• • • •

Encourage those involved in the building of new facilities to ensure that they are designed in such a way that there are no barriers to access for religious, cultural, financial or mobility reasons

Swimming will:

• Continue the tradition of working in partnership with • schools and local authorities and will expand this • to include universities and the private sector

• Continue to lobby for facilities to be affordable and • to provide appropriate access for all programmes • Lobby to ensure that existing facilities are kept well • • maintained and up to date to service the needs of • the sport • • • • • •

Work closely with pool operators to ensure pools are programmed to ensure optimum use for all disciplines and all levels of swimming including adequate training provision for elite swimmers and adequate provision for recreational and fitness swimming

THE RETURN OF THE CHAMPIONS 23 May 2007 11:14

 

The sight of Keri-Anne Payne and James Goddard waiting behind the blocks for events one and two of the National Speedo League Cup final was not only a mouth-watering prospect but an unspoken message to everyone watching. If anyone doubted, after their relative trouncing of the Cities of Salford and Liverpool in December's North West final, that Stockport Metro meant business, those doubts were now dispelled.

Payne found herself in the next lane to her Stockport training partner Cassie Patten, whose

For the women's 200m IM,

“We didn’t allow Cassie, Joe Gannon and Michael Rock to swim for us,” said head coach Sean Kelly. “I think it’s really important that they swim for their local clubs. If we are going to come forward in 50m pools and centres around the country, we have to do that.” Patten may have the edge on her friend when it comes to fighting off jellyfish and other creatures of the deep but the world 10km silver medallist was

Millfield’s Euan Dale fourth in the British all-time list with a recent PB of 2:01.40 headed

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story Goddard¹s opponents in the men¹s IM but the world and Olympic backstroke finalist was about to remind us that he is also no mean medley man. In fact, Goddard holds European junior gold and Commonwealth bronze medals for this event. With splits of 26.43 on fly and 30.17 on backstroke, he had pretty well done the job by halfway and went on to stop the clock at 2:01.68. This not only slashed three seconds off Michael Rock’s league record from the B final but was almost a second quicker than the time which won Goddard a bronze medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. It also takes him within 0.9sec of the British record, which took Gregor Tait to Commonwealth gold in Melbourne last year.

OTHER PRIORITIES With two races gone, Stockport already had maximum points and held a lead that they were never to lose, thanks to a record of results that included 18 wins and 15 second places from the 50 events. Payne and Goddard provided two more of the individual wins, in the women¹s 100m butterfly (1:02.73) and the men¹s 100m breaststroke (1:04.26). Ambah Simpson was also a double winner for Stockport, taking the 10-11yrs 50m backstroke (32.71) and freestyle (29.25) and the award for the most improved girl in her age group. Team-mate Luke Woolstencroft won the equivalent boys' award after his winning time of 34.20 in the 50m backstroke. Also contributing to Stockport¹s tally of victories were Simon Birch in the men’s 100m backstroke (58.12), Nick Burrell in the 1011yrs 50m freestyle (28.40), Jessica Powell in the 13 and under 100m backstroke (34.48) and 15 and under swimmers Dale Curtis (100m freestyle 55.57) and Russell Smith (100m breaststroke 1:07.50). Stockport became the fourth

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story winners of the trophy in as many years following the successes of City of Leeds in 2004, Millfield in 2005 and Hatfield last year. They have won the title only once before in the league’s 38-year history in 1986. They have not even appeared in the finals since 1988, although that has more to do with club strategy than any sudden improvement in their standards. Head coach Sean Kelly explained: ”We have had other priorities in previous years. We have always used the league as a development meet. This year, with the world championships out of the way already, we thought we would have a go. We’ve had a great competition all year and it has been great for team spirit.” Kelly said he was confident beforehand that Stockport would win the final and praised age group head coach Richard Blackshaw for a “tremendous job” in leading the junior team. But whether Stockport will be back next year to defend their title is doubtful. ”If the calendar suits, we will,” said Kelly. “But it’s Olympic year and I don't want any  distractions. We will probably enter it as a development meet.” The West, which provided five of the 20 teams for the A and B finals, fared ell with last year’s B final winners Plymouth Leander coming second and 2005 A final champions and 2006 runners-up Millfield third. In the regional final in December, Plymouth had to rely on a countback of race wins after tying with Millfield on points, but this time they were closer to Stockport (409 points to 385) than their South West rivals (349) were to them. Their 11 winners included 13 and under swimmers Joe Parker and Laura Froshaug, whose performances in the 100m breaststroke (1:12.75) and 100m freestyle (1:01.29) won

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story them the awards for the most improved boy and girl in the age group. Plymouth also won the relay challenge after completing their 16 team races just 1.25 seconds quicker than Stockport 33min 31.76sec to the North West champions’ 33:33.01! Plymouth coach Jon Rudd said: ”Somewhere along the line it’s going to be our day! The last time we were in the A final it was Millfield that beat us. This time we managed to beat them but there was a new group in town. Stockport were very strong and exceeded our expectations. A lot of their swimmers swam faster than their times on the British Swimming rankings said they would. They were immaculate in the last five metres. If there was a 50-50 finish, it was theirs. That doesn’t come about by chance and it was a sharp lesson for our swimmers. We were beaten by a better team.” He added: “I would quite like Stockport to be there next year because I would like to beat them! But if they are not, I won’t be crying!” First-time finalists Bracknell and Wokingham had a dream debut, defeating the champions of four regional leagues and two other teams to secure fourth place, 56 points behind Millfield and 25 ahead of last year’s national champions, Hatfield, who were fifth. “It was one of the proudest moments of my life,” said Bracknell coach Rosa Gallop. ”To come fourth in this company is an astonishing achievement. It was a great team effort and to me that’s what swimming is all about. We also had more than 100 spectators including many parents who didn’t have anybody swimming.” Bracknell¹s results included a league record time of 2:16.22 from the 11/u girls’ medley team of Celeste Linquist (back), Annabel Humphries (breast), Ellie Walton (fly) and Alex Shields (free).

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story Sixth-placed City of Salford’s efforts included a competition record-breaking 59.62 by Luke Wood in the boys’ 15/u 100m backstroke. Wood and Amanda Nugent took the awards for that age group. Karen Pickering opted to cheer on Ipswich from the grandstand but they still had the oldest swimmer in the finals in 33year-old Zoe Cray. The former British record-holder in the 50m backstroke helped the London league champions to seventh place overall with second in the women’s 100m backstroke and third in the freestyle. Guildford City, who beat Bracknell in the South final, and fellow regional champions Lincoln Vulcans (East Midlands) and City of Coventry (West Midlands) occupied the last three places in the A final. B FINAL Fran Halsall gave not only City of Liverpool but the entire finals day a flying start with a swim that was well worthy of her status as a European junior champion and world championship finalist. The 17-year-old from City of Liverpool slashed almost three seconds off Sophie Caul’s league finals record as she finished 8.5 seconds ahead of the field in the 200m individual medley. Her winning time of 2:15.89 was not only a personal best but moved her to third behind Sue Rolph and Terri Dunning in the British all-time list and brought her within 1.3sec of Rolph’s British record. She later became only the fifth British woman to swim a long course 100m butterfly in under a minute, recording another competition record of 59.88 to win the women’s event by five seconds. Michael Rock virtually matched his team-mate with wins in the equivalent men’s events and a league record in the IM. His time of 2:04.64 lowered Euan Dale’s mark by 0.19sec but the new record was to last barely four

http://www.asa.sportcentric.com/vsite/vcontent/content/transnews/0,10869,5026-142440-19728-28302-272637-9148-5014-layout73-159656-news-item,00.html[27/08/2011 21:46:23]

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story hours thanks to James Goddard’s A final assault. Rock also made it a double in the butterfly, clocking 54.48 to leave world and Olympic 1500m freestyle medallist David Davies (City of Cardiff) almost two seconds adrift in second place.  Davies also had to settle for second in the men’s 100m freestyle behind Ealing’s Charles Turner (51.49 and 52.22). Like Stockport in the A final, Liverpool led from start to finish and took the trophy with 344 points to runners-up Ealing’s 318. Liverpool’s achievers also included Craig Langley, whose winning 57.18 in the 13/u 100m freestyle won him the age group award. Third place went to a Leatherhead team whose men’s relay teams included Matt Kidd, best remembered as the first Briton to go under 50 seconds for the 100m freestyle, though that was a few years ago now! Fourth-placed Northampton’s cause was boosted by the return from Loughborough of world medallist and Commonwealth double champion Caitlin McClatchey, who won the women’s 100m freestyle in 56.96. Bournemouth Dolphins were the best of the four first-time finalists, holding second place for most of the first 25 events before slipping back to fifth. The West’s two remaining teams, Cardiff and Taunton Deane, tied on points with the Welsh team taking sixth place on countback. Taunton’s Libby Mitchell claimed the 13/u girls’ award after winning the 13/u 100m butterfly in 1:08.42 and freestyle in 1:02.21. Preston achieved a similar advantage after tying with a Nottingham Leander team which included Rebecca Adlington, though such was the competition that the 2006 European 800m freestyle silver medallist had to settle for third places in both her individual events. Three of the six age group awards went to Preston

West Midlands league runnersup Perry Beeches finished 92 points adrift of Preston and Nottingham, though even they enjoyed some highlights, not least a couple of race backstroke wins from Holly Lynch (15/u) and Ryan Long (open).

♫ August 17th, 2011 9:02 am

Xtrax, the entertainment and festival organisers, are hosting a weekend of outdoor performances in Manchester. The company will be bringing together a wide array of street theatre, live music and dances for their upcoming event, Platform 4. The Manchester festival is set to be even bigger than before as Xtrax have been able to book a large volume of acts from around the UK and Europe. The great amount of performances this year means that Platform 4 will be taking place in all the central area within Manchester. Piccadilly Gardens, St Ann’s Square and New Cathedral Street are going to be filled with street theatre and dance during Saturday and Sunday daytime. Contact Young Actors Company, the Manchester theatrical troupe, will be putting on an outdoor performance during the weekend. The group will be showing their modern audience an old-fashioned medicine show full of mystical machines and visual treats. Another top attraction is ‘Chutney on the Street!’ where the cast of London’s successful Bombay Dreams will be singing and dancing to soca guitars and percussion. Platform 4 continues into the night time hours at the Castlefield Arena. Friday and Saturday nights are going to have a real party atmosphere as live music and dancing will fill the arena. You can also watch top acrobats perform breathtaking circus skills and aerial shows around the streets of Castlefield. One of the main evening attractions is As the World Tipped by the Wired Aerial Theatre. Nigel Jamieson, the company director, has composed a piece where aerial performers tell the tale of the current ecological crisis. Platform 4 will be taking place between Friday 19th and Sunday 21st August and all the performances are free of charge. You can learn more about Platform 4’s times and performances at the Xtrax Facebook page.

Sundae On The Common comes to Manchester ♫ July 12th, 2011 2:13 pm

Ben and Jerry’s annual Sundae On The Common event, held on London’s Clapham Common is heading up north to spread its ice-cream love. Renamed Sundae In The Park, the northern equivalent sees Ben and Jerry’s host a music event in Manchester’s Heaton Park. The two day event starts on Saturday 23rd July and tickets are priced at £17. British alternative rock band, Maximo Park will be headlining at the occasion, with Gary Numan, Duke & King, and Sound of Rum also making appearances. This is the first time that the Ben and Jerry’s festival has come to Manchester, having run for 7 consecutive years in London. The weekend is packed with fun activities, in laid-back surroundings, with plenty of free ice-cream. Ben and Jerry’s work closely with the Fairtrade organisation, promoting ethical food production. Other partners of the festival include Nordoff Robbins, RSPCA, Solar Aid and Cards from Africa. Xfm are also working in collaboration with the event. In preparation for the festival, the team at Ben and Jerry’s have been using social media to help find an extra act to perform. They asked budding bands from across the UK to enter their competition, which saw a panel judge the entries leaving just four finalists for the public to deliberate over. The two Manchester finalists are: Rescue The Eskimo and The Spiels – fans can vote for their favourite via the Ben and Jerry’s website. Tickets for both the London and Manchester events are available on the website; there’s also a list of all the delicious ice-creams that will be available to try.

Home is in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter ♫ July 5th, 2011 12:44 pm

Whatever your flavour, the vast and varied offerings from Manchester restaurants mean no one leaves the city feeling under indulged. The Northern Quarter’s latest contribution secures this fact further. Home Sweet Home is a gourmet bakehouse and coffee bar on Edge Street, next to Common. From the owners of Socio Rehab, this coffee bar that opens late into the evening positions itself as Manchester’s first dessert restaurant.

They promise home comfort foods and over the top indulgent delights, all freshly prepared. Although there are delicious meals and lunchtime snacks on offer, the main focus is on the cakes and shakes. The idea is that people can go out to dinner and if they don’t fancy the desserts on offer they can pop ‘HomeSweetHome’ for a sweet treat; they even serve cocktails. The popular northern area of the city is home to many independent food establishments, but this offers something quite original. When stepping into the coffee house one instantly feels at home. The attentive staff are willing to accommodate for any requirements; they offer soya alternatives to their milkshakes and are soon to be selling gluten-free cakes.

Manchester International Festival ♫ June 13th, 2011 3:49 pm

‘Manchester is the beating cultural heart of Britain’ The Observer, July 2007 Manchester International Festival (MIF) is a biennial arts and culture festival, which sees the City being taken over by events and exhibitions presenting current artistic talent from across the spectrum. This year’s festival starts on 30 June and culminates 17 July. It is a registered charity with funding from the public and private sectors, whilst also gaining income from ticket sales. MIF is a chance for established artists and co-producers to perform and display new works from a variety of platforms including theatre, visual arts, dance, music and popular culture. In 2009 twenty world premieres were featured at the festival and ran for several performances across the Festival, allowing more opportunities for audiences to experience them. Over 230,000 people attended events at that festival. The events take place across the whole city with some free event s being staged in public spaces such as the Town Hall and Manchester Peace Gardens. In addition to this many performances will be held at the city’s established performance arenas such as The Lowry, The Bridgewater Hall, the Opera House and pieces will be displayed in Manchester’s many art galleries. The beauty of the festival is that it is an opportunity for the City to host a varying array of artists from all genres and fields of creativity. Snoop Dogg will be performing amongst artists such as Bjork and Sinead O’Connor. Comedians will also be showing new material with offerings from Victoria Wood and Jonny Vegas. Visitors will be able to attend free of charge an event named ‘sacred sites’ where five highly recognised performers of sacred song will perform in sites of worship across the city. The festival, running across two weeks is a great opportunity for people living in the city or people wanting to visit the city to experience some of the most talented artists and original works.

North West Days Out ♫ June 7th, 2011 11:51 am

As summer approaches many families begin looking for North West days out and things to do in and around the region. The six week summer holiday can be a large amount of time to fill and keep young children occupied. Luckily for northern families there are a great deal of activities and things to do in the North West. For Merseyside families they don’t even need to travel too far in order to take part in great events for the whole family. The Crosby Lakeside adventure centre is based on the coast in the Merseyside area of Waterloo. It’s easily accessible by road and rail alike and proves a perfect day out for families of all ages. If visitors are coming from further afield, in search of a break away there is accommodation available in the contemporary Lodge. If a day out extends into the evening, there is a Bistro on site where visitors can experience fine food while relaxing.

Manchester News | Clubs | Things to do | Blog

The activity centre has lots to offer with an array of water sports available. Visitors can use the lake to waterski, windsurf, sail, powerboat and canoe. In addition to these regular activities there are also special events held at the centre, encouraging families to be active and get involved in energetic pursuits. Such events include a Dualathalon, which sees families and children of all ages competing in the areas of cycling and running. The centre makes a great day out for families, but if visitors do choose to stay at the Lodge there are a great many days out around the surrounding North West area. With the nearby seaside resort of Southport and both coast and countryside just a stone’s throw away, there’s never a dull moment during a break away in the North West.

Manchester’s great sports day ♫ May 20th, 2011 3:14 pm

Sunday 15th May 2011 saw the return of the annual Bupa Great Manchester Run. The event, which started in 2003, has grown to be one of the largest mass participation runs in the UK. Each year it has grown in popularity and this year 38,000 runners took part. The track, which was 10km long, started on Portland Street in the City centre and finished on Deansgate passing sites such as Old Trafford on the way. Runners were entertained by bands positioned at various points throughout the course and celebrities including Amir Kahn were onboard to encourage the athletes. The highly popular event brought an added positive atmosphere to the already friendly city. This year the day was an especially sporting occasion for the city as it also held the second British Gas Great Salford Swim. Both events were covered by the BBC in four hours of coverage focused on the city. In view of the Olympics the BBC has started the Big Splash campaign, aiming to encourage Britons to learn to swim. In association with this, Blue Peter presenter Andy Akinwolere took on a swimming challenge, with the end goal of taking part in the mile long swim in Salford – a feat that he completed live on television. Runners and swimmers came from across the world to take part in both events. Haile Gebrselassie from Ethiopia won the run for the fourth year in a row with a time of 28mins 10secs. The female winner was Helen Clitheroe who completed the course in 31mins 45secs. Wheel chair athletes also took part with winners being D Weir (mens) and N Emmerson (womens). Elite athletes and celebrities took part in both events on the day, raising money for an assortment of charities.

The Media Move in to Manchester ♫ May 17th, 2011 3:10 pm

This week the first cohort from the BBC have migrated North to move into MediaCityUK in Salford Quays. Although the move was faced with some hostility from the lot at White City initially, their acceptance that it was inevitable has meant this week appears to have gone smoothly so far. The main departments to have moved away from the capital include BBC Sport, BBC Children’s and BBC Breakfast, but the corporation has many other employees gracing the city too, along with new job roles opening up. Peter Salmon has revealed that over 500,000 people have applied for some 500 jobs. The MediaCityUK project, aimed at the creative industry, seeks to offer a metropolis for innovation and creation. Along with the BBC many other companies have seen the appeal in starting afresh in the new arena. ITV, Coronation Street and Salford University are amongst some who are exploiting the opportunity. The MediaCityUK development is a huge opportunity for Manchester businesses to expand and acquire new office space in a vibrant area that will attract employees. The Salford development aims to become a world class hub for the media and creative industries. The area, which is

Manchester News | Clubs | Things to do | Blog

easily accessible from the city centre via tram, offers restaurants, cafes, hotels and brand new apartments for people working in the area. Although it is only in its infancy, the next few years will see MediaCityUK become an exciting and energetic place to both work and live. Now is a good time for businesses to set up in the development as it has already shown its popularity through the amount of people applying for jobs in the area. For Manchester as a whole the expansion is a real positive. It will encourage new people to the city while opening new job opportunities and new facilities for current residents. The venture has also seen many major developers investing in the city, something that will only bring Manchester good fortune.

Help make Manchester Shine ♫ April 18th, 2011 3:52 pm

Manchester is taking part in one of Cancer Research UK’s biggest fundraising events this summer; Shine. The campaign will run across the country, with main events taking place in Glasgow, London and of course, Manchester. The fun is kicking off in the city with a night-time walking marathon which starts on Sunday 1st May, giving you no excuse to miss it. Even if you are just cheering from the sidelines, every role is as important and with 1 in 3 people being affected by cancer at some point in their lives, it’s definitely a worthwhile cause. Unlike some of the other Cancer Research UK fundraisers, Shine is open to both men and women of all ages. Why all fundraisers are not open to both sexes is beyond me, surely the charity wants to raise as much money as possible, so why automatically cut the population in half? The night marathon was a great success in it’s first year (2010) and Cancer Research have their sights set on another great year. The route will pass many of Manchesters’ landmarks, so it is a great opportunity to see the sights whilst raising money for a good cause. No need to fret if you’re not too steady on your legs, or you don’t like walking, you can choose to do a 13 mile marathon or go the full 26 miles. The Shine fundraiser is this year hoping to raise more than £5 million across the three cities, an amount that will be invaluable to fund research in to the disease. Jennifer Hobson, organiser of Shine commented: “We will be using light in different ways throughout the event to symbolise bringing hope to the darkness of cancer. The light also illustrates our progress, ambition and how together, we will beat cancer. As part of their fundraising, walkers will be able to raise money for a particular cancer that means something to them. Cancer Research UK funds research into all types of cancer and this is wonderful way of making Shine even more personal and relevant for everyone taking part.” Manchester is proud to be hosting such a wonderful event for a deserving charity. To take part visit the Cancer Research UK UK website.

Howzat!

♫ March 16th, 2011 5:07 pm A factory in Cheadle, towards the southern end side of this city of Manchester. A passerby walking along outside – an ordinary scene on an ordinary day. But then – gunshots from inside; a frightened passerby now, reaching for their phone, scurrying to get out of range. Police are called, helicopters scrambled, an armed response unit alerted. The factory is surrounded, the closed shutters and doors ominously concealing the activities inside.

http://www.manchester2007.com/[27/08/2011 21:46:59]

Manchester News | Clubs | Things to do | Blog

‘Come out! Coe out!’ the armed officers shout. A door opens, men start to emerge; police fingers hover over triggers. The men look bewildered, confused but they are carrying objects in their hands. Guns? Automatic weapons? No – a cricket bat and ball. The above scene was not played out in the mind of a soap opera script writer or even that of a film producer – it happened in Cheadle last week. The gunshots? They were simply the sound of the cricket ball slapping against the metal shutters of the factory. And the reason? After work, having listened to the cricket all day, the workers decided to stay on a while and have their own little test match in the warehouse – a bit of light relief at the end of the day. That is, until the armed police turned up! Still, guns, cricket or forklift trucks, there’s still the potential for an employer indemnity case if anyone were to get injured – although, we’re not sure knock from a cricket ball would be as serious as any of the other options.

For the women’s 200m IM, Payne found herself in the next lane to her Stockport training partner Cassie Patten, whose temporary return to the Plymouth Leander fold was itself a tribute to a commendable aspect of the Stockport philosophy.  ‘We didn’t allow Cassie, Joe Gannon and Michael Rock to swim for us,’ said head coach Sean Kelly.  ‘I think it’s really important that they swim for their local clubs.  If we are going to come forward in 50m pools and centres around the country, we have to do that’.

ONE WEEK LEFT TO WIN SWIM TIME AT THE MAC 25 May 2007 15:41

People in Suffolk are being given the opportunity to get in the swim through Everyday Swim’s Suffolk Swim Weekend running from 9-10 June.

The pioneering project, led by the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) and funded by Sport England, aims to break down the barriers of participation in swimming to affect a culture change across the country to get more people in the pool, and Suffolk Swim Weekend will target all people in the area. Regardless of age and ability, Suffolk Swim Weekend will give people the opportunity to get active in the pool for a taster session around the county.

free but anyone wishing to take part in the adult learn-to-swim sessions should book in advance as demand is expected to be high and spaces are limited.

 

Up to one in five adults in the UK are unable to swim and statistics show a significant fall in participation swimming when people reach the age of 45. Many adults stop swimming when their children become independent enough to go swimming on their own, while a large number of adults never learn to swim because they didn’t have the opportunity at a younger age. Swimming is one of the few forms of exercise that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and is not weight-bearing so it can benefit all as it is not dependent on fitness or physical ability. Former Olympic swimming champion and Everyday Swim Ambassador Duncan Goodhew will be touring the county for

I count myself lucky because I learnt to swim as a child but many people never had the chance. Around one in five adults can’t swim but if enough people sign up for the taster lessons we can reduce that figure in Suffolk and get more people into the pool for fun, fitness and good health.” Councillor Graham Newman, Suffolk County Council’s portfolio holder for Adult and Community Services wants as many people in the area to get involved in the event. “Suffolk Swim Weekend provides an excellent opportunity for the people of Suffolk to reignite their enthusiasm and appreciation of swimming and other pool activities,” “We have some great swimming facilities in the county and I would encourage individuals and families to get involved. By taking the plunge this weekend we all have the opportunity to make a positive impact on our general health and well being, and of course enjoy ourselves with friends and families.” Participating venues are as follows:

ASA URGES CHILDREN TO GET SAFE 4 SUMMER 24 May 2007 12:15

 

Children across the UK are being given the chance to learn vital life saving skills as part of the Amateur Swimming Association’s (ASA) Get Safe 4 Summer campaign.

SYNCHRO OPEN WATER WATER POLO MEMBER RESOURCES USEFUL DOCUMENTS DEVELOPMENT CLUB INFORMATION TEACHERS & COACHES FACILITY OPERATORS VOLUNTEERS & OFFICIALS MEMBER BENEFITS SCHOOL SWIMMING AASE AWARDS / BOOKS / VIDEOS SWIMFIT MAJOR EVENTS PHOTO GALLERY

On average, one person drowns in the UK every 17 hours and drowning is still the third highest cause of accidental death amongst children with most occurring in inland waters such as rivers, lakes and

 

ponds. The ASA will be working in partnership with the Royal Life Saving Society and the National PE, School Sports and Club Links Strategy (PESSCL) to deliver important water safety messages for children to take with them when they visit coastal and inland waters over the summer holidays. Get Safe 4 Summer is now in its fifth year and with the support of Britain’s top Olympic aquatic athletes over 1,500 children will be taught vital water safety skills at schools and leisure centres throughout June and July. Olympic swimmer Steve Parry learnt to swim after falling from a boat into the River Thames at the age of seven. “I remember that day and I was terrified,” he said. “I could have drowned and I’d hate for any other child to go through that. A few simple skills could be

 

the difference between life and death – it’s as simple as that – and the Get Safe 4 Summer campaign is a great way of reinforcing safety messages in a fun way.” “Teenage boys are most at risk of drowning, but hopefully by teaching them about the dangers at a younger age they will realise that bravado can easily turn into tragedy.” ASA Chief Executive David Sparkes realises the importance of the water safety campaign and sees it benefiting all children participating.

ASA INTRODUCES GROUND BREAKING LEVEL 3 QUALIFICATION 23 May 2007 15:51

 

The Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) is rolling out its highest available programme of coach education across the country as the sports governing body continues to introduce a framework of UK Coaching Certificate qualifications. The UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC) is a nationally recognised standard for coach and teacher education spearheaded by sports coach UK and is firmly centred on the needs of athletes.

 

A world-leader in teacher and coach education, the ASA is one of six sports to be involved in the first stage of the UKCC and the organisation continues to lead the way by delivering the Level 3 standard to close to 50 coaches over a nine-month period. The first group to undertake Level 3 was introduced to the first of 11 units, that go to make up the qualification, in Wolverhampton at the end of April and they’ll continue the learning process until January of next year. The first six units of the Level

 

3 qualification are generic in content while units seven to 10 will be sport specific. These will be concluded by November before candidates undergo the vocational unit 11 over a 12-week period. UKCC qualifications will ultimately be offered from levels one to four in teaching and coaching across all four aquatic disciplines. A flexible framework allows teachers and coaches to transfer

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story between disciplines, be assessed within their own environment and even learn online. A further distinction between teachers and coaches means individuals have the opportunity to pursue excellence within their chosen age group rather than having to progress to senior athletes in order to further their careers. ASA Assistant Coach Education Manager Alan Rapley, who has been instrumental in defining and delivering the new education standards, will be monitoring the progress of the Level 3 group and using valuable feedback to tailor future courses. ““We’ll be looking closely at this first group to see how the course is implemented and received. It will help us to determine if any changes or additions are needed in delivering what is a groundbreaking syllabus,” said Rapley.   “The new UKCC qualifications combine flexibility of learning with structured reward and recognition across all environments. “Whether you’re the very first teacher of a young swimmer or the coach of an Olympic athlete, your education will be recognised on a parallel level. “A major benefit of the UKCC is it includes core aspects that span all ASA disciplines, with initial modules concentrating on ‘how to’ skills and allowing people to develop at their own pace.” Level 3 courses are currently being delivered right across the country to groups based in and around areas such as Wolverhampton, Hatfield, Lancaster, Bristol, Leeds and Newcastle.

CLUBS AWARDED SWIM 21 STATUS 23 May 2007 15:45

 

The number of clubs now accredited under the Amateur Swimming Association’s (ASA) Swim21 scheme has risen to 335. The national governing body for swimming is well on its way to achieving its target of accrediting 800 clubs to its Swim 21 scheme by 2009 after fourteen more clubs made the grade at the May panel meeting. Swim 21 is the ASA’s club development model and has

 

been in operation since 2002. Reviewed and amended at the beginning of 2006, the application process is now more straightforward and the scheme has opened up to all disciplines. Swim 21 is recognised by Sport England as a Clubmark accredited scheme and therefore all clubs gaining Swim 21 accreditation will automatically receive Clubmark status. Based on the principles of Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD), Swim 21 encourages clubs to specialise in one of four areas; Teaching, Skill Development, Competitive

 

Development and Performance. It recognises nationally and regionally the clubs that are committed to providing safe, effective and quality services for the benefit of their members. Swim 21 National Chair Dave Flack is encouraged by the number of clubs

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story applying for Swim 21 accreditation. “Swim 21 is important for clubs,” he said. “It provides a springboard to launch your club to higher goals and even greater achievements at all levels.” “It has now been running for four years and the number of clubs receiving accreditation is promising, we are on our way to achieving 800 clubs accredited by 2009 and this figure is achievable. Since amending the scheme in 2006 we have seen an increase in the number of clubs working towards accreditation.” Flack sees Swim 21 as a way for clubs to develop the service that they provide and the skills of everyone working at the club. “There are many benefits of being accredited through the Swim 21 scheme but the main one is it gives clubs a clear focus on how to move forward and help develop their athlete’s skills further. Also the whole process holistically develops the whole club including volunteers and chairman. It is the ASA club development model and so gives everyone at the club the chance to progress.” Clubs interested in working towards the Swim 21 accreditation should contact their Regional Development Officer. The next panel meeting will be held on 15th August, and submissions should be made by 1st August. -ENDSThe clubs that received accreditation in this panel are listed below: NORTH EAST: Middlesborough Amateur

The seminars will give teachers the chance to share their thoughts, while improving their skills in the delivery of the NPTS, and are based on developing ideas and practices with the use of selected examples from the new syllabus.

 

Six NPTS specific seminars will be held from June 2007 and will give people an insight in the philosophy of the revised plan. The NPTS is a framework for learn to swim programmes, providing teachers with a clear and consistent approach for the structure and delivery of swimming lessons. All swimmers following the NPTS benefit from a quality assured scheme. Introduced in 1998, the NPTS is one of the most successful programmes ever introduced by a sports governing body and has become the preferred framework for the delivery of learn to swim lessons throughout the UK. It is underpinned by Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD), and incorporates all of the aquatic disciplines. To download the seminar flyer, please CLICK HERE. All seminars are being organised by the Regional Education Officers for the Amateur Swimming Association.

The council began the Aquamark evaluation at the end of last year and received their Premier status for the second time last month. The ASA is the national governing body

 

for swimming and Aquamark is its quality seal of approval for swimming lesson providers. It is an original and unique programme, designed specifically to help organisations providing swimming programmes to improve and enhance their service. Comprising four modules, operators are assessed on areas such as Programme Operation, Staffing, Customer Relations and Policy and Strategy. To achieve the top-level accreditation Premier status, a lesson provider must pass all four criteria. To achieve Approved status it must pass two of the four criteria. The council operates swimming lessons at seven centres across the city – Eastern Leisure Centre, Fairwater Leisure Centre, Llanishen Leisure Centre, Pentwyn Leisure Centre, Western Leisure Centre, Splott Pool and Maindy Pool. Currently over 222,000 people access the

 

swimming lesson programme each year and benefit from the National Plan for Teaching Swimming and the Kellogg’s Awards Scheme. Swimming Development Manager Shirley Bourge believes it is a real achievement to receive Aquamark accreditation twice. “I think the whole Aquamark process is great,” she said. “It is really useful to have guidelines to work towards. To achieve Premier status is really hard work and to have been accredited for the second time is really good recognition for the hard work of everyone at the centres.” ASA Business Manager Mandy Mason is

THE RETURN OF THE CHAMPIONS 23 May 2007 11:14

 

The sight of Keri-Anne Payne and James Goddard waiting behind the blocks for events one and two of the National Speedo League Cup final was not only a mouth-watering prospect but an unspoken message to everyone watching. If anyone doubted, after their relative trouncing of the Cities of Salford and Liverpool in December's North West final, that Stockport Metro meant business, those doubts were now dispelled.

FACILITY OPERATORS

Payne found herself in the next lane to her Stockport training partner Cassie Patten, whose

a tribute to a commendable aspect of the Stockport philosophy.

For the women's 200m IM,

“We didn’t allow Cassie, Joe Gannon and Michael Rock to swim for us,” said head coach Sean Kelly. “I think it’s really important that they swim for their local clubs. If we are going to come forward in 50m pools and centres around the country, we have to do that.” Patten may have the edge on her friend when it comes to fighting off jellyfish and other creatures of the deep but the world 10km silver medallist was

 

no match for Payne in the fourlength medley, clocking 2:21.96 to the Stockport representative’s 2:17.28. Payne’s performance would have been a league record had not Fran Halsall already covered that territory in the B final earlier in the day. Millfield’s Euan Dale fourth in the British all-time list with a recent PB of 2:01.40 headed

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story Goddard¹s opponents in the men¹s IM but the world and Olympic backstroke finalist was about to remind us that he is also no mean medley man. In fact, Goddard holds European junior gold and Commonwealth bronze medals for this event. With splits of 26.43 on fly and 30.17 on backstroke, he had pretty well done the job by halfway and went on to stop the clock at 2:01.68. This not only slashed three seconds off Michael Rock’s league record from the B final but was almost a second quicker than the time which won Goddard a bronze medal at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. It also takes him within 0.9sec of the British record, which took Gregor Tait to Commonwealth gold in Melbourne last year.

OTHER PRIORITIES With two races gone, Stockport already had maximum points and held a lead that they were never to lose, thanks to a record of results that included 18 wins and 15 second places from the 50 events. Payne and Goddard provided two more of the individual wins, in the women¹s 100m butterfly (1:02.73) and the men¹s 100m breaststroke (1:04.26). Ambah Simpson was also a double winner for Stockport, taking the 10-11yrs 50m backstroke (32.71) and freestyle (29.25) and the award for the most improved girl in her age group. Team-mate Luke Woolstencroft won the equivalent boys' award after his winning time of 34.20 in the 50m backstroke. Also contributing to Stockport¹s tally of victories were Simon Birch in the men’s 100m backstroke (58.12), Nick Burrell in the 1011yrs 50m freestyle (28.40), Jessica Powell in the 13 and under 100m backstroke (34.48) and 15 and under swimmers Dale Curtis (100m freestyle 55.57) and Russell Smith (100m breaststroke 1:07.50). Stockport became the fourth

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story winners of the trophy in as many years following the successes of City of Leeds in 2004, Millfield in 2005 and Hatfield last year. They have won the title only once before in the league’s 38-year history in 1986. They have not even appeared in the finals since 1988, although that has more to do with club strategy than any sudden improvement in their standards. Head coach Sean Kelly explained: ”We have had other priorities in previous years. We have always used the league as a development meet. This year, with the world championships out of the way already, we thought we would have a go. We’ve had a great competition all year and it has been great for team spirit.” Kelly said he was confident beforehand that Stockport would win the final and praised age group head coach Richard Blackshaw for a “tremendous job” in leading the junior team. But whether Stockport will be back next year to defend their title is doubtful. ”If the calendar suits, we will,” said Kelly. “But it’s Olympic year and I don't want any  distractions. We will probably enter it as a development meet.” The West, which provided five of the 20 teams for the A and B finals, fared ell with last year’s B final winners Plymouth Leander coming second and 2005 A final champions and 2006 runners-up Millfield third. In the regional final in December, Plymouth had to rely on a countback of race wins after tying with Millfield on points, but this time they were closer to Stockport (409 points to 385) than their South West rivals (349) were to them. Their 11 winners included 13 and under swimmers Joe Parker and Laura Froshaug, whose performances in the 100m breaststroke (1:12.75) and 100m freestyle (1:01.29) won

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story them the awards for the most improved boy and girl in the age group. Plymouth also won the relay challenge after completing their 16 team races just 1.25 seconds quicker than Stockport 33min 31.76sec to the North West champions’ 33:33.01! Plymouth coach Jon Rudd said: ”Somewhere along the line it’s going to be our day! The last time we were in the A final it was Millfield that beat us. This time we managed to beat them but there was a new group in town. Stockport were very strong and exceeded our expectations. A lot of their swimmers swam faster than their times on the British Swimming rankings said they would. They were immaculate in the last five metres. If there was a 50-50 finish, it was theirs. That doesn’t come about by chance and it was a sharp lesson for our swimmers. We were beaten by a better team.” He added: “I would quite like Stockport to be there next year because I would like to beat them! But if they are not, I won’t be crying!” First-time finalists Bracknell and Wokingham had a dream debut, defeating the champions of four regional leagues and two other teams to secure fourth place, 56 points behind Millfield and 25 ahead of last year’s national champions, Hatfield, who were fifth. “It was one of the proudest moments of my life,” said Bracknell coach Rosa Gallop. ”To come fourth in this company is an astonishing achievement. It was a great team effort and to me that’s what swimming is all about. We also had more than 100 spectators including many parents who didn’t have anybody swimming.” Bracknell¹s results included a league record time of 2:16.22 from the 11/u girls’ medley team of Celeste Linquist (back), Annabel Humphries (breast), Ellie Walton (fly) and Alex Shields (free).

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story Sixth-placed City of Salford’s efforts included a competition record-breaking 59.62 by Luke Wood in the boys’ 15/u 100m backstroke. Wood and Amanda Nugent took the awards for that age group. Karen Pickering opted to cheer on Ipswich from the grandstand but they still had the oldest swimmer in the finals in 33year-old Zoe Cray. The former British record-holder in the 50m backstroke helped the London league champions to seventh place overall with second in the women’s 100m backstroke and third in the freestyle. Guildford City, who beat Bracknell in the South final, and fellow regional champions Lincoln Vulcans (East Midlands) and City of Coventry (West Midlands) occupied the last three places in the A final. B FINAL Fran Halsall gave not only City of Liverpool but the entire finals day a flying start with a swim that was well worthy of her status as a European junior champion and world championship finalist. The 17-year-old from City of Liverpool slashed almost three seconds off Sophie Caul’s league finals record as she finished 8.5 seconds ahead of the field in the 200m individual medley. Her winning time of 2:15.89 was not only a personal best but moved her to third behind Sue Rolph and Terri Dunning in the British all-time list and brought her within 1.3sec of Rolph’s British record. She later became only the fifth British woman to swim a long course 100m butterfly in under a minute, recording another competition record of 59.88 to win the women’s event by five seconds. Michael Rock virtually matched his team-mate with wins in the equivalent men’s events and a league record in the IM. His time of 2:04.64 lowered Euan Dale’s mark by 0.19sec but the new record was to last barely four

http://www.sportcentric.com/vsite/vcontent/content/transnews/0,10869,5026-142440-19728-28302-272637-9148-5014-layout73-159656-news-item,00.html[27/08/2011 21:49:37]

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story hours thanks to James Goddard’s A final assault. Rock also made it a double in the butterfly, clocking 54.48 to leave world and Olympic 1500m freestyle medallist David Davies (City of Cardiff) almost two seconds adrift in second place.  Davies also had to settle for second in the men’s 100m freestyle behind Ealing’s Charles Turner (51.49 and 52.22). Like Stockport in the A final, Liverpool led from start to finish and took the trophy with 344 points to runners-up Ealing’s 318. Liverpool’s achievers also included Craig Langley, whose winning 57.18 in the 13/u 100m freestyle won him the age group award. Third place went to a Leatherhead team whose men’s relay teams included Matt Kidd, best remembered as the first Briton to go under 50 seconds for the 100m freestyle, though that was a few years ago now! Fourth-placed Northampton’s cause was boosted by the return from Loughborough of world medallist and Commonwealth double champion Caitlin McClatchey, who won the women’s 100m freestyle in 56.96. Bournemouth Dolphins were the best of the four first-time finalists, holding second place for most of the first 25 events before slipping back to fifth. The West’s two remaining teams, Cardiff and Taunton Deane, tied on points with the Welsh team taking sixth place on countback. Taunton’s Libby Mitchell claimed the 13/u girls’ award after winning the 13/u 100m butterfly in 1:08.42 and freestyle in 1:02.21. Preston achieved a similar advantage after tying with a Nottingham Leander team which included Rebecca Adlington, though such was the competition that the 2006 European 800m freestyle silver medallist had to settle for third places in both her individual events. Three of the six age group awards went to Preston

Amateur Swimming Association : Full Story swimmers, Tom Booth and Stephanie Slater taking the 15/u prizes for their times of 54.91 in the boys’ 100 freestyle and 1:14.18 in the Girls’ 100m breaststroke, Cameron Austin the boys’ 11/u award for his 31.75 effort in the 50m butterfly. West Midlands league runnersup Perry Beeches finished 92 points adrift of Preston and Nottingham, though even they enjoyed some highlights, not least a couple of race backstroke wins from Holly Lynch (15/u) and Ryan Long (open).

Position Paper to Rt HonTessa Jowell, MP, Secretary of State for Culture Media & Sport 1.

Introduction and Summary

Swimming is an activity that, as a life skill, is intertwined into the fabric of British society. Parents aspire for their children to swim and it is the most popular activity in the UK other than walking. It makes a unique contribution to the wellbeing and health of the nation providing an enjoyable activity in which children to senior citizens and persons suffering from severe disabilities can take part equally well. Swimming is also the gateway to the opportunity for taking part safely in other water based activities and in itself provides the opportunity for children with the necessary talent and dedication to go on to achieve success at International level. In the British Swimming corporate plan (Vision for British Swimming – 2003 ) there is an aspiration for swimming to be “a sport for life” and indeed for many it is already but there is still a long way to go. British Swimming is focused upon elite athlete performance and medal success for British Swimmers at major championships culminating in the Olympics and Paralympics. However, British Swimming success is underpinned by the actions of the Swimming Associations of England (ASA), Scotland (SASA) and Wales (WASA) whose aims are to ensure the widest participation in the sport and that everyone has the opportunity to learn to swim, that all the community have affordable access to pools and that those with talent can make a smooth transition into the elite programmes of British Swimming. Where are we now In the last decade and particularly in the last five years there has been a greater realisation of the role that swimming has to play in today’s society and in summary this has resulted in • • • •

measures to improve the teaching of swimming in schools, following an Offsted report indicating that nearly 20% of children could not swim 25m by the end of Key Stage 2, greater recognition of the benefits of swimming and the role it can play in a creating a healthy lifestyle with 11.9 million people swimming regularly, improved performance at World Championships, our best ever modern Commonwealth Games (2002) in Manchester, hitting our targets at the Athens Olympics (2004) and a developing set of athletes with the potential to achieve much more, an increase in the number of new or replacement pools including a 54% increase in the number of 50m pools. The majority of these pools have been built as result of the opportunity to obtain grant aid from the Sports Lottery and six of the seven new 50m pools have been beneficiaries.

Where we want to be We see these results, however, as being only the first stage in where we want to be which is to • • •

reduce the number of those schoolchildren unable to swim 25m at the end of Key Stage 2 to less than 5% by 2009, increase the number of people swimming whether as part of an active lifestyle or as an aid to health or simply as a relaxation by at least 1% year on year by providing affordable access, increasing standards of customer care by improved staff training and by the creative management of pools, improve the existing competition structure for swimming to ensure that our athletes are given every chance to perform well in the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics and that by 2012 we will be one of the leading

•

nations in world swimming with an infrastructure legacy which will sustain the sport in this position well beyond 2020 , increase the opportunities for swimming by a targeted building programme which will renovate existing pools to extend their life cycle and where this is not possible provide new pools which, by the use of the latest technology including moveable floors and bulkheads, will cater for the swimming needs of the whole community.

We believe that the award of the 2012 Olympic Games to London gives British sport, as a whole, a ‘once-in-alifetime’ opportunity to make a huge leap forward in performance. However, we also believe that it provides a catalyst for sport to contribute towards improving health, fighting obesity, improving the quality of life and helping combat some of the social ills of crime, drug abuse and equity. This paper considers the challenges swimming faces as a sport and outlines what we are presently doing and the response required from Government, other key stakeholders and last but not least by British Swimming and its constituent Associations. Learning to Swim School Swimming The OFSTED report into schools swimming in England, based upon an inspection carried out in November 1999, indicated that overall 80% of pupils could swim 25m at the end of key stage 2. More serious, however, was that in inner city areas and those areas with a high level of deprivation based upon the free school meals indicator this figure was reduced to just over two thirds. Since the publication of the report the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) has worked with the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) to produce a • •

Swimming Charter providing practical advice on how to plan and deliver swimming programmes and to encourage children to enjoy swimming. Swimming and Water Safety web site, aimed at teachers, parents and pupils to provide practical advice on learning to swim safely and well,

and on behalf of the DfES carried out 2 pilots in deprived areas on how children who have not learned to swim by the end of primary school could be supported to learn and how to help them enjoy swimming. The result of the pilots has been the investment of £5.5 to fund a National Top up Swimming Programme running from 2006 to 2008 which will be managed through the ASA. Whilst these are all positive steps there is a negative aspect in that many children have to learn to swim in unheated outdoor school pools or in indoor school pools offering extremely primitive conditions and lacking changing rooms and showers. A majority of these pools were built in the sixties and early seventies by the efforts of parents and teachers and have reached the end of their useful life. Whilst these poor facilities are far from ideal it is a regular occurrence to hear of these and other school pools being closed without a hope of replacement and it would be ironic if the target to reduce the number of non-swimmers to less than 5% by 2009 was not reached because of the loss of facilities. Other Learn to Swim Schemes Many parents wish their children to learn to swim prior to entering school whilst others wish to give their child the opportunity to progress beyond the level set by the school swimming curriculum. The ASA has recognised this and in order to ensure a uniformity of teaching has published a National Plan Teaching for Swimming which is used in the schools swimming programme and by other teaching agencies such as local authorities, private pool providers and its own swimming clubs. Presently the ASA trains some 12,000 teachers per year and is looking to train an additional 48,000 teachers by 2009 and provide licensing of swimming teachers and coaches supported by the necessary CPD to maintain standards of competency. A Nation of Swimmers? The Challenge

2

Swimming continues to be the largest participation sport in the UK, with 11.9 million people taking part on a regular basis and is widely acknowledged as being a healthy activity, providing good cardio vascular and muscular exercise, with minimal risk of injury. It is a sport enjoyed by both young and old and one that can be enjoyed by people of all shapes and sizes. Importantly it is also an activity from which people over a range of disabilities can gain an immense amount of satisfaction and pleasure and also help with the recovery of people who have suffered a major illness. Initial interest in swimming often comes through school or because of family involvement and participation is often sustained throughout life. Unlike many sports the cost of equipment, a costume, towel and perhaps a pair of goggles, is small and for this reason alone swimming is well placed to make a significant impact on the Government’s objective of promoting activity for all, through its “At least Five A Week” recommendation. Additionally research has shown that 13% of the population who do not have an active lifestyle consider swimming as their choice of recreation. The challenge is to transfer this interest into activity but for swimming to make an impact in increasing participation there needs to be a culture change in the way swimming pools are operated to meet the diverse needs of both new and existing customers. Culture Change The three Swimming Associations have longstanding working relationship with traditional partners such as Government, Schools, Local Authorities, Regional Sports Councils, Management Institutes, Private operators and the Fitness industry, but are now working to forge new partnerships on a multi agency basis with Primary Care Trusts, GP Referral programmes, Mental Health in the Community, Youth and Community workers etc. In a nutshell the Associations can be a catalyst for change and increased participation by working with traditional and emerging new partners, advocating good practice and culture change within swimming pools and helping to develop new aspects of use. The ASA together with other agencies such as Sport England, ISRM and ILAM, have traditionally promoted good management of pools. The emphasis has been on a more structured approach to the operation of pools, with time provided for all clients, including sessions for children and families, fitness swimming, training for competition etc. Where such a structured approach is adopted the facility works well and the approach can also free up times in the day when new groups can be introduced to swimming. We believe, however, that to attract and maintain interest, particularly of teenagers, the opportunities on offer should not simply be swimming but would include a range of other aquatic activities such as lifesaving, sub aqua, under water hockey and aquarobic exercise ranging from strenuous workouts to simple water exercises and activities for older people such as walking in the water and using the water resistance to give muscle tone. The approach would be holistic establishing links, for example for older people, to other healthy activities such as walking, dancing and keep fit and be based upon lifestyle change and education. Indeed the ASA is now involved with various partners in pilot projects in Hull with Department of Health funding in which swimming is being used to encourage people to be more active and in Plymouth where a free swimming programme providing a mixture of structured and unstructured pool sessions aimed at young people, and in particular the most hard to reach and vulnerable, is meeting with success. Also following on from the free swimming initiatives for children in London, Wales and Scotland the ASA is working with partners, DCMS and DoH, to produce a good practice free swimming guide which can be applied to all Local Authorities. However, if a change in culture is to occur there is a cost to be met in providing training and ongoing professional development for the pool operators, swimming teachers, coaches and pool staff to equip them with the skills needed to drive the activity and the health agenda. Secondly there is a need to ensure that the necessary facilities are available to meet an increase in use and the needs stemming from the broadening of the range of activities and importantly that these facilities will be affordable and accessible to all. The Structure for Competition - Beijing and Beyond The Club Base Work has started on reforming the club base with

3

• •

The modernisation and resetting of the boundaries of the administrative structure of swimming in England into 8 Regions mirroring the Regional Councils for Sport and allowing for much closer working. The improvement of the Club structure by the introduction of “Swim 21” which more clearly defines the role of individual clubs and will lead to a greater focus and effective delivery of the activities for which they are best suited and enable optimum benefit to be obtained from facilities. Such a structure will provide local pathways for children progressing from school swimming and other swimming teaching opportunities and help to progress the aims of the national strategy for Physical Education, School Sport and Club Links.

We believe that an improved club structure headed by a network of strong, vibrant clubs based at good 50m facilities and supported by and linked to effective local delivery clubs throughout England, Scotland and Wales will provide the foundation for performance as well as integrating other aspects of Swimming’s development. We have concerns, however, about the survival of swimming clubs, the large majority of whose membership is under 16 years of age and many lead a precarious existence having difficulty in obtaining access to appropriate pool time at an affordable hiring charge. The solution lies in sympathetic management but in many instances either commercial pressures prevail and/or there is a sad lack of understanding as to the community service offered by clubs. We welcome the consideration being given to making free swimming for children more widely available and we would suggest that this consideration should be coupled with the role of clubs and how those clubs with a large number of children in their membership could also benefit from some system of concessions. New Generation of Volunteers Swimming has always been heavily dependent on its legions of volunteers. Presently there are some 50,000 volunteers giving almost 3 million hours of their time per year. Without this level of unpaid service, which can involve teaching, coaching, lifeguarding, acting as an official for competitions, administration and even just taking children by car to events the sport would struggle to survive. Also the work of the volunteer get more difficult as the years progress with new legislation, health and safety matters and in this increasingly litigious society the threat of civil and even criminal action. As a result training is of the utmost importance and the ASA have found it necessary to appoint a Volunteer Coordinator with the responsibility of recruiting and supporting volunteers, ensuring that they follow a programme of training and development. Funding is provided through the “Step into Sport” programme but like many other funding programmes there is no certainty of the level of funding from year to year or even its continuance. The role of the volunteer is critical to the sport as is the finance to provide the necessary training. Revolution in Coaching While Swimming has led the way in British sport in the number of trained teachers capable of introducing the sport to young people, it has not produced a career pathway attractive to coaches. There are few full-time coaches in Swimming in Britain, and insufficient numbers of people aspiring to coaching as a profession. We see tomorrow’s coach as more entrepreneurial than in previous generations. This will require new skills and behaviours. We must, and plan to, increase the capacity and capability of the coaching workforce, utilising the potential resources and benefits of the UK Coaching Certificate. We have a clear understanding as to what is required to develop our athletes. This must be communicated effectively to all teachers, coaches and athletes through our supply chain, and delivered much more effectively than in recent years. We will build a team of professional coach educators who will deliver results based at regional centres of coaching excellence to meet the needs of the community delivering workforce development. We have already conducted two reviews and pilot studies into the number and quality of the coaching workforce in Britain. This has shown us there are a number of areas to address: • •

There are too few qualified coaches with many vacancies for coaching positions. There is an increasing demand for greater coach education. 4

• •

For those who are qualified there is a lack of esteem by clubs with a poor salary structure. Coaches have poorly developed management skills.

We intend to build a culture of learning and training within the sport; addressing the quality of supply through the increased professionalism of our workforce and striving to meet the demands of our athletes for improved coaching standards. We must help those involved teaching children keep these young athletes in the sport, especially during the mid-teenage years where drop-out from the sport is high. The training programme would lead into a national licensing scheme to ensure quality coaches and teachers with the necessary monitoring and control. By using the improved coaching we will drive the Government’s Charter for Schools Swimming and ensure an increased reservoir of talent for our sport well beyond 2012. In parallel we will provide increased training through a range of opportunities for school teachers of Swimming and work with the Schools Swimming Associations to provide a rejuvenated schools competition programme. Our Performance Strategy Swimming We have made great strides over the last Olympiad in switching to a new Performance system through which we have improved the performances of our elite and potential athletes. Whilst the final medal haul in Athens was disappointing the in-depth analysis of the result indicated the team was more competitive with more athletes reaching finals. In many championships our athletes have demonstrated their ability to compete at the highest level in the world. Is it reasonable, however, to expect world-class performances from athletes who, all too often, have to train in less-than-world-class facilities, often sharing time with community swimmers? An example of this, one of many which could be quoted, is David Davies our Olympic Bronze medal winner in the demanding 1500M event. David. who needs to swim upwards of 100,000 metres each week, some lives studies and trains in Cardiff in a 25M pool and is forced to travel 3/4 times each week (45 min each way) to Swansea. Between now and 2012 our main focus will be to increase the pool of potential athletes and assure peak performance of our elite athletes by: • Developing the next, enhanced version of our Management System in the performance department. We will continue to monitor the performance of our athletes and provide information and additional expertise to our coaches to plan and achieve continually improving levels of performance • Optimising the use of our existing pool stock and securing new investment at selected locations. In relation to optimising existing pool stock we believe that by working with pool operators and building on the knowledge gained from those facilities which do perform well we can raise the overall quality and use of our existing 50m facilities and lower the cost of access to British Swimming. Intervention by Government may be required to produce the optimal result linking investment in facilities linked to additional investment from the pool operator and guaranteed free access for the elite. The new facilities planned for the 2012 Games are welcomed and must be available from 2008. Care must be taken to ensure that these facilities provide the best possible training and competition amenities for all disciplines and British Swimming is keen to offer expert advice and support in this area. We envisage encouraging further new developments in strategic locations across the country including Loughborough, Cardiff, Birmingham, Hillingdon, and Canterbury. We envisage a minimum of 12 (50m) facilities and associated clubs operating at peak efficiency and effectiveness by 2012. However even with this increase in facilities we would still have significantly fewer 50m pools than France and Germany. It is critical the pools we have work effectively. • Attracting a number of international events to the UK over the next 7 years to ensure we build the experience of our athletes and support staff. In addition we plan to introduce new competitions to encourage improved performances from our swimmers. These include a new UK Long Course Open Championship, with the initial event already planned for Glasgow in 2007. • Reforming our approach to coaching our elite athletes. This will include increasing the numbers of fullcoaching techniques. This will be enhanced by increased use of information technology and science.time coaches and providing them with greater insight into swimmer performance and world-class Diving 5

Diving is currently in a growth period, following the success in Athens with the first Olympic medal in Diving since 1960. With the retirement of some of our most experienced athletes, our priority is to implement our youth development programme through to 2008. It is unlikely that the next generation will deliver many more medals in Beijing, but 2008 will provide vital experience. The medal-winning opportunity for Diving will come in 2012 with a mature team performing at home. There is already a well-established infrastructure, but to improve performances and ensure a consistent succession of divers, a number of key success factors have been identified. These include additional experienced coaches, regular international competitive opportunities in the UK an increase in the number of international standard diving facilities which include high quality dry-land training areas. Water Polo and Synchronised Swimming The 2012 Games also provides a window of opportunity for British sports that have not participated actively in previous Games. With under 7 years to go to the games it will not be an easy task to deliver success in Water Polo and Synchronised Swimming but, in anticipation of a winning London bid, a focussed approach on athletes who will be in their prime in 2012 had been adopted. To continue and improve, however, involves targeted investment in coaches, athletes and appropriate facilities and support systems. Plans will be prepared for these disciplines on a whole-sport basis. Paralympics British Disability Swimming already has the structures and systems in place to deliver success in major competitions and has performed well in the last three Paralympic Games. To maintain and improve this record, four key areas have been identified: • • • •

Provide athletes, coaches and support staff, through World Class and Development programmes, with the level of resources needed to deliver success at world class level Improve the identification and nurturing of disabled swimmers to ensure that no-one is missed and that there is a constant reservoir of talent Increase the numbers and enhance the knowledge and experience of coaches and support staff working with disabled athletes Provide the necessary events and activities to support and challenge the athletes, coaches and support staff

Common Strands There are three common strands running through all our plans namely people, facilities and finance. People As we outlined in the introduction, swimming makes a unique contribution to the health and well being of the nation. However, it is people who implement strategies and we recognise that to achieve our goals we will require to recruit and train additional people to those currently involved in the sport. The vast majority of these new recruits will be volunteers but without them the sport will not reach its intended targets and true potential. We see the training and retention of volunteers as a key area and welcome the work being done by the government to help. Facilities In relation to our performance strategy we have stressed the need for more 50m pools at selected locations if we are to mount a challenge to be one of the world’s leading swimming nations. However, there is also the need for a hierarchical structure of swimming facilities to meet peoples various swimming needs from teaching onwards and we have concerns about the failing state of swimming facilities. The main providers of swimming facilities are Local Authorities and the situation is best summed up by the following extract from the DCMS own publication “Department for Culture, Media and Sport: Departmental Investment Strategy – Spending Review 2004” “Local Authorities 6

2.2.9 A survey by the Department of English local authorities identified (from responses by 100 Local Authorities) a backlog of maintenance of some £317m in sports, libraries, museums and arts facilities. It seems that the position is likely to be worse than this because the asset management programme data did not cover the costs of replacement. In recognition of the tight fiscal position in this spending round the Department has limited bids in this area to those we see as essential and in support of our and the government’s priorities. We are however working closely with ODPM and the Local Services Review to exercise influence in our sectors. We will look to address this backlog in future spending reviews as part of a longer term strategy. 2.2.10 The case for new investment in sports facilities is built against a background of the failing condition of the existing facility stock as shown in 2002 research by Sport England. The SE study evaluated the condition of a large sample of local authority facilities (634 in total), based upon condition surveys to determine the condition and costs of refurbishment. The survey found that the cost of replacing the existing stock would be £4.5bn, with £550m needed in the next five years simply to ensure that existing facilities remain open. 2.2.11 Local Authority expenditure on sport is under pressure from other policy priorities and the existing Comprehensive Performance Assessment structure gives little incentive for this area of investment. It is therefore a key priority for the Department to modernise and improve the stock of sports facilities. The outcomes will be increased sports participation with improved social benefits for health and inclusion.“ If we are to meet the aims of the government in terms of health and activity and our aim to be a nation of swimmers there is an urgent need to redress this situation. Finance At this stage we are not in a position to provide detail concerning the investment which our plans for the Olympics and beyond will need. However, following the meeting with the Minister when the big picture concerning the Olympics and other matters are clearer it will be a priority to formulate plans which include detailed costings. What should be said, however, is that we recognise our responsibility to contribute as a sport to raising funds and plan to reform our strategy to fund-raising to enable the sport to provide additional funding both up to the London Olympics and after. We plan to increase individual subscriptions of swimmers over the next 5 years and also increase the income received from our successful award scheme and other programmes. Increased training of teachers and coaches will also increase revenues to the sport. Planning for Three Horizons Merely planning for medals in 2012 will not achieve a lasting legacy from the major investment into the 2012 Olympic Games. We believe there is a compelling case for investment in Swimming addressing three incremental horizons over the next 15 years. • 2008 - we have plans in place to improve on our recent performances in Athens/Sydney, and importantly provide experience to athletes with the potential to win medals in 2012. However, we do not expect a major medal haul in Beijing – the measures of success will be more swimmers in Olympic finals and performing to their potential. Our aim is to win 4 medals, including one Gold medal – our highest performance for some time building carefully on the work we have done. At the same time we will hope that the Government will recognise the situation concerning the need for 50m pools and the condition of the existing stock of pools if we are to begin to achieve our plans for the future. • 2012 - we will ensure British Swimming makes a major contribution to a great Games. We will deliver the best ever performance by British Swimming in the history of the modern Olympic (top 5 in World) and Paralympic Games (top 2 in the World). We will present a bigger and better equipped group of athletes than ever before. We will also present well prepared teams in Diving, Water Polo and Synchronised Swimming, all capable of competing for medals, with investment for the future, to ensure we build on the 2012 success and enhance the British medal haul for years to come. • 2020 - Swimming will be at the centre of communities and the sporting life of the nation. Our performance at major championships will have been maintained at 2012 levels. Our workforce, both professional and volunteer, will be equipped as never before. Swimming will be a major contributor to the improved health of the United Kingdom. In the longer term we aspire to a swimming facility on the doorstep of every community in Britain, and in every pool effective programmes of activity with qualified coaches and teachers leading the programmes and a performance from the athletes, which sustains that achieved in 2012. Swimming as

7

a sport will continue to play a major part in sustaining a healthy lifestyle by increasing numbers of people swimming, and shifting the culture of swimming and swimming pools.

A SHORTER GUIDE TO LONG TERM ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT (LTAD) INTRODUCTION Scientific research has identified that it takes at least 10 years, or 10,000 hours for talented athletes to achieve sporting excellence. There are no short cuts! There are two ways in which young swimmers can improve their performance: • Training; • Growth and development. Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) is about achieving optimal training, competition and recovery throughout an athlete’s career, particularly in relation to the important growth and development years of young people. If a long term approach to training is not adopted there is likely to be a plateau in performance, when growth and development slows significantly. Which for some swimmers may result in their performances getting worse. At this point the short-term training approach cannot be reversed. This often leads to drop out before a swimmer has achieved close to their potential. REASONS FOR LTAD There are five clear reasons for introducing a long term athlete development approach: To establish a clear swimmer development pathway; • • To identify gaps in the current swimmer development pathway; • To realign and integrate the programmes for developing swimmers and swimming in Britain; • To provide a planning tool, based on scientific research, for coaches and administrators. • To guide planning for optimal performance. It is anticipated that the principles of LTAD will be used to review existing swimming initiatives led by the governing body and inform any future initiatives. It is hoped that all swimming providers will use LTAD in a similar way. This will enable the swimming community to pull in one direction towards achieving Swimming’s goals and targets. CURRENT SPORT SYSTEM ISSUES The following are some general observations of sporting systems from around the world (including Britain): • Young athletes under-train, over-compete; • Low training to competition ratios in early years; • Adult competition superimposed on young athletes; • Adult training programmes superimposed on young athletes; Male programmes superimposed on females; • • Training in early years focuses on outcomes (winning) rather than processes (optimal training); • Chronological age influences coaching rather than biological age; • The “critical” periods of accelerated adaptation are not fully utilised; • Poor training between 6-16 years of age cannot be fully corrected (athletes will never reach genetic potential); • The best coaches are encouraged to work at elite level; • Coach education tends to skim the growth, development and maturation of young people; Coaches, swimmers and parents need to be educated in LTAD principles; • • Administrators and officials need to be educated in LTAD principles. Bill Sweetenham (British Swimming National Performance Director) summed up the current position with the development of British Swimming thus:

“Right now we have too many clubs in Great Britain offering too little training time and in most cases too much competition. This leaves many athletes in a twilight zone of training less than 14 hours a week, hoping for international results and expecting overseas tours and camps and national level success. For an athlete training 8 hours a week the benefits are social, fun, participation, team building and health benefits. For those athletes wishing for an international career and who are serious about optimum performance at the national level then swimming in a programme with a high performance objective of 18-25 hours is approximately what it will take to achieve these objectives. However, in most countries and in most clubs, the vast majority of athletes train between 8 and 14 hours per week. This is the twilight zone, too much volume to be fun and achieve the social and happy benefits of the participation level (8 hours and under) and not enough to achieve the competitive results or optimum performance that an athlete expects. In other words it is too much for participation and too little to be considered really serious in terms of the competitive nature of the sport. Changing this twilight zone should be the major focus of every club and national programme.” (Bill Sweetenham, Wavelength 2002) LTAD FRAMEWORK Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) is a sports development framework that is based on human growth and development. In short, it is about adopting an athlete centred approach to swimming development. All young people follow the same pattern of growth from infancy through adolescence, but there are significant individual differences in both the timing and magnitude of the changes that take place. It is however important to stress that human growth and development happens without training, however swimming training can enhance all of the changes that take place. A number of scientists have reported that there are critical periods in the life of a young person in which the effects of training can be maximised. This has led to the notion that young people should be exposed to specific types of training during periods of rapid growth and that the types of training should change with the patterns of growth. These have been used by Dr Istvan Balyi to devise a five stage LTAD framework that has been adapted to swimming: • FUNdamental – basic movement literacy; SwimSkills – building technique; • • Training to train – building the engine; • Training to compete – optimising the engine; • Training to win – maximising the engine Stage 1 – FUNdamental AGE: Female: 5 to 8 years; Male: 6 to 9 year. The FUNdamental stage should be structured and fun! The emphasis is on developing basic movement literacy and fundamental movement skills. The skills to be developed are the ABCs (Agility, Balance, Coordination, Speed), RJT (Running, Jumping, Throwing), KGBs (Kinesthetics, Gliding, Buoyancy, Striking with the body) and CKs (Catching, Kicking, Striking with an implement). In order to develop basic movement literacy successfully participation in as many sports as possible should be encouraged. Speed, power and endurance should be developed using FUN and games. In addition, children should be introduced to the simple rules and ethics of sports. No Periodisation should take place, but there should be well-structure programmes with proper progressions that are monitored regularly. Stage 2 – Swim Skills: Building technique! AGE: Female: 8 to 11 years; Male: 9 to 12 years. During this stage young swimmers should learn how to train and develop the skills of a specific sport.

There may be participation in complementary sports, i.e. those sports, which use similar energy systems and movement patters. They should also learn the basic technical/tactical skills, and ancillary capacities, including: • Warm up and cool down; • Stretching; • Hydration and nutrition; • Recovery; • Relaxation and focusing. This stage coincides with peak motor co-ordination, therefore there should be an emphasis on skill development. Training should also include the use of ‘own body weight’ exercises; medicine ball and Swiss ball exercises as well as developing suppleness. Although the focus is on training, competition should be used to test and refine skills. The recommended training to competition ratio is 75% to 25%. There should be single periodisation. If a young swimmer misses this stage of development then he/she will never reach their full potential. One of the main reasons athletes plateau during the later stages of their careers is because of an over emphasis on competition instead of optimising training during this very important stage. Stage 3 – Training to Train: Building the engine! AGE: Female: 11 to 16 years; Male: 12 to 15 years. During the Training to Compete stage, There should be an emphasis on aerobic conditioning. This is the stage where there is greater individualisation of fitness and technical training. The focus should still be on training rather than competition and the training should be predominantly of high volume, low intensity workloads. It is important to emphasise that high volume, low intensity training cannot be achieved in a limited time period, and therefore the time commitment to training should increase significantly. As the volume of training increases there is likely to be a reduction in the number of competitions undertaken. However, there should now be specific targets for each competition undertaken with a view to learning basic tactics and mental preparation. There should be either single or double periodisation of the training year. During this stage, training should continue to develop suppleness and to include the use of ‘own body weight’ exercises; medicine ball and Swiss ball exercises. However towards the end of this stage, preparations should be made for the development of strength, which for girls occurs at the end of this stage and for boys at the beginning of the next stage. This should include learning correct weight lifting techniques. The ancillary capacities (the knowledge base of how to warm up and warm down; how to stretch and when to stretch; how to optimise nutrition and hydration; mental preparation; regeneration; how and when to taper and peak; pre-competition, competition and post competition routines) should be established. Similar to the previous stage, if insufficient time is devoted to this stage or it is missed, then the young swimmer will never reach their full potential. Stage 4 – Training to Compete: Optimising the engine! AGE: Female: 14 to 16 years; Male: 15 to 18 years. During the training to compete stage there should be a continued emphasis on physical conditioning with the focus on maintaining high volume workloads but with increasing intensity. The number of competitions should be similar to the end of the previous stage but the emphasis should be on developing individual

strengths and weaknesses through modelling and nurturing technical and tactical skills based around specific strokes or distances, but not both. As a result, there should be either double or triple periodisation of the training year. In addition, the ancillary capacities should be refined so they are more specific to the individual’s needs. During this stage, training should also focus on developing maximum strength gain through the use of weights. This should be coupled with continued work on core body strength and maintaining suppleness. Stage 5 – Training to Win: Maximising the engine! AGE: Female: 16+ years; Male: 18+ years. This is the final stage of athletic preparation. The emphasis should be on specialisation and performance enhancement. All of the athletes’ physical, technical, tactical, mental, and ancillary capacities should now be fully established with the focus shifting to the optimisation of performance. Athletes should be trained to peak for specific competitions and major events. Therefore, all aspects of training should be individualised for specific events. There should be either double, triple or multiple periodisation, depending on the events being trained for. During this stage, training should continue to develop strength, develop core body strength and maintain suppleness.

The ASA is totally committed to the principles and practice of equal opportunities across all of its aquatic disciplines, both as an employer, provider and as a facilitator of such practices by all its members. In our work with key partners, such as swimmers, clubs, teachers, coaches, officials and administrators, we will advocate our policies make every effort to ensure that all participation has equality at its core. Swimming is a 'sport for all'. It can and should be enjoyed and made accessible to everyone and to achieve this: The ASA is committed to work towards ensuring that swimming is accessible to the many rather than the few. The ASA recognises the need to acknowledge the diversity of provision that is required to ensure that all people, regardless of their race, sex/gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, social or economic background can access swimming and develop at a level appropriate to them. The ASA recognises the need to celebrate difference and diversity of provision as a means of creating entitlement and accessibility to our structures. The ASA recognises that equal opportunity is about recognising that people are different and therefore require different provision. The ASA recognises the need to consult widely in order to respond to diversity.

MEMBERSHIP REVIEW / REGIONALISATION ASA Council 2004 commissioned a review of the membership of the ASA with the specific aim of answering the question “What is a member of the ASA?”. The responsibility for conducting that review was delegated, by Council, to the Regionalisation Project Board (RPB) and this report was written by the 5 members of the Board who have striven to maintain their independence from and accessibility to the whole of the sport. With this in mind, the Committee feels that it is prudent to set the scene for those reading the report and to outline the parameters that the RPB worked within. The RPB has now reported to ASA Committee and together we now invite Council to consider our views. Swimming and English society have changed considerably in the 135 years since the ASA was formed. But the rules of membership have their roots in Victorian and post World War II principles. It is a tribute to our forebears that many of these principles hold good today but others need urgent review; something that they would have and did tackle head on. The need for change and the need for clarity are clear; we must all work together as a team to get this right. The Government has defined its role in sport as: 1.      To assist strong well managed governing bodies to achieve excellence and success in World competitions; and 2.      To encourage us all to have more active and healthy lives. In the case of swimming, this means success at Olympic and Paralympic level along with the recognition that swimming is a life skill that can significantly contribute towards a healthy life as part of a more active life. The ASA must either embrace and engage with both these aims or face the prospect of someone else moving into our area. We, the swimming family, recognised that the world in which we live and work is very different. We also recognised that people’s motivation to become involved in the sport has changed dramatically and vary from person to person equally dramatically. It is probably impossible to list all the reasons but they include: to access “talent development” and competition, for health and fun,  to belong to a club or organisation, to gain access to better services such as coaching, the protection of working and practicing in safety and a controlled environment, for the insurance, or because they simply want to. Some become involved, if not immersed, in the ASA because they recognise the importance of maintaining and demonstrating its ability: to protect the integrity of the sport, to establish a jurisdiction and avoid chaos,

Amateur Swimming Association : Regionalisation

to demonstrate to all levels of government that we are driving activity and achievement up, to provide competition and training with order and the appropriate level of control that a strong governing body can give, to provide a rules structure which enables fair competition and equity. We also recognised that the time was right to review our structures and to make sure that they are robust and meet the sport’s needs. That process began with the Boundary Commission Review in 2002 and has continued with the 2004 Membership Review. In fact, there is no better indicator of our (the swimming family’s) recognition of the need to debate these issues and our engagement in the debate than the number of submissions to the review bodies, many with very detailed, well-made and important points. This in itself is an inclusive and innovative approach. Both Reviews were given carefully crafted remits and the review bodies were careful not to be distracted into related but ancillary areas. The bodies were also careful to consider emerging issues and the needs: for simplicity and ease of understanding, for inclusion of all sections of the community, for example minority groups, for inclusion of all sectors of society, for example the voluntary sector, for maximum membership levels, for accountability to the membership and good governance, to meet people aims, desires and reasons for joining the swimming family, for flexibility to adapt to new issues and circumstances, and for robustness. As the representatives of the ASA swimming family, ASA Council has the ultimate decision on whether to adopt the recommendations in the report; taking the opinions of the wider membership into account and recognising that the membership review considered over 150 responses to the consultation exercise. The aim in writing this foreword was not to influence the debate around the challenges that the RPB has set us all. Nor is it our intention to pre-empt the decisions of Council about the recommendations in this report. It is important that we, the ASA and the swimming family, have a free and open debate. Our aim was simply to set the scene and to introduce the report. We therefore recommend consideration of the report and ask everyone to read it, consider the underlying issues, and think about the effects on the whole of the sport and OUR collective need for the future.

The Amateur Swimming Association is committed to promoting the welfare of Swim Line children in our sport. That is why we have joined with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in creating SwimLine. The service is provided for anyone involved in swimming, including children and young people who believe that the welfare of a young child is at risk. This could be neglect or abuse, bullying or fear of someone, or anything that is worrying you and you don't know who to discuss it with. What happens if you call? When you ring, you will hear a message. This will explain that you wish to speak to someone urgently or it would not be convenient for someone to call you back - you can press a number to transfer straight to the NSPCC Child Protection Helpline. This will be answered by trained and experienced counsellors who will advise you and act to protect children. If there is a problem with someone calling you back and you wish to speak to someone who understands swimming, you will need to leave your telephone number and time when it is convenient for one of our Child Protection Group to ring. These people are members of swimming clubs who work in child welfare as a profession and have volunteered to help this ASA programme. If there is an issue which causes concern the ASA will act to protect the child. SwimLine calls are free and do not appear on itemised bills unless the call is made from a mobile phone. SwimLine does not use the 1471 code or any other call return or call display facility. If you leave a message we aim to ring back during the next working day. If you phone over the weekend, we will aim to contact you on Monday. Our Numbers SwimLine 0808 100 4001 NSPCC Child Protection Helpline direct: 0808 800 5000 - (open 24 hours a day and calls are free). Textphone: 0800 056 0566 Comments and suggestions on how we can improve this service are welcome.

Operating Statement

Members of the ASA Committee would like to place on record their heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers, officers and members of the technical committees, the teachers, coaches and tutors, the organisers and officials at national events and many local authorities and leisure service departments who work in partnership with the ASA, providing facilities and administrative help in staging events. Our particular thanks to the many volunteers who generously give their time and effort for the good of the sport. And thank you to all contributors to this report. Sponsors and Supporters The Association is grateful for the generous sponsorship and support, made in a variety of ways from many companies and organisations.

The format of the ASA Annual Report has been changed to reflect progress against the targets set out in our Corporate Plan – Building on Change. Work on the targets set out in Building on Change commenced on 1st April 2005 and this report details the progress made during the first six months of the Plan i.e. 1st April 2005 to 30th September 2005. The tables in each section show the following: • • • • •

original Vision statement; overall target we are aiming to achieve by 2009 from the Strategic Plan; key performance indicators from the Corporate Plan; target we are aiming to achieve by 31st March 2006; actual achievement during the first six months to 30th September 2005.

The narrative highlights the major areas of achievement during the year and in some cases highlights areas which require additional focus to enable us to achieve targets. It has been a considerable year of change with the handover from a district to a regional structure, increased activity on health and fitness activities, a review of coaching and teaching qualifications leading to a licensing scheme being launched in 2006 and the roll out of the Long Term Athlete Development Model for all disciplines. We are on track to achieve the majority of targets set out in the Plan and where there appears to be a shortfall at present efforts are being focussed to address the shortfall. The section on the accounts provides detail on the ASA finances for the period 1st October 2004 to 30th September 2005. These are interim accounts as the financial year end has changed to 31st March and therefore we are currently in an eighteen month accounting period for one year only.

ASA 2005 ANNUAL REPORT AND INTERIM ACCOUNTS 3

Achieving the Vision Section 1 Learn to Swim Swimming is the only sport accorded the government ‘Charter for School Swimming’. After carrying out a consultation on Top Up swimming on behalf of Department for Education and Skills (DfES), the ASA with DfES funding of £5.4m will roll out the programme through the Education Partnerships supported by five, ‘Schools Top Up Co-ordinators’. The aim is to support programmes where there are a high percentage of children unable to swim 25m with the overall aim of reducing that figure. The business development team based out of Redditch have continued to make a positive impact on the way Learn to Swim providers work with the ASA as they offer a single point of contact for support and access to advice across all areas of swimming activity. We are currently working with 550 operators of which 15 have formally committed to a formal partnership agreement and 76

VISION

are in the process of signing. This means they are working exclusively with the National Plan for Teaching Swimming, the Kellogg’s ASA Awards scheme and ASA teacher coach education and training. The valuable support of Kellogg’s has brought another successful year for the Awards Scheme with Tony the Tiger and Olympic medallist Steve Parry out and about motivating thousands of children to get active and celebrate their achievements. The ASA has again delivered the ‘Get Safe for Summer’ campaign and the success of the nationwide Road Shows has led to growing confidence in the ASA as a partner.

“SWIMMING IS THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT SPORT TO THE BRITISH PUBLIC ALONG WITH RUGBY.”

The Yorkshire Swimcare programme aims to increase the number of Key Stage 2 children who learn to swim in line with the National Curriculum guidance whilst the funding is mainly accessed by Local Authority Swimming Development Departments within the county. The recipients utilise the funding to help pay for pool hire, teachers, and transport to get children from local schools into the pool who otherwise may not have learned to swim and the initiative certainly helps to increase opportunities. The funding amounts to £20,000 per year for three years, allocated in consultation with key providers from the swimming fraternity across the region with input from sponsors Yorkshire Water on key geographic areas.

Resources A DVD aimed at supporting the National Plan for Teaching Swimming and providing a much-needed resource for teachers and coaches is in the final stages of development.

To ensure everyone has an opportunity to learn to swim, taught by fully qualified teachers in a quality, structured environment ensuring that all children can swim 25m unaided by Key Stage 2.

Achieving the Vision Section 2 Lifelong Participation Schools competition The ASA has been challenged this year to work with the Youth Sport Trust and the English Schools Swimming Association on developing a new more effective schools competition programme which complements the Long Term Athlete Development programme in all disciplines. Linking this to a young leader’s award for 16-18 year olds could also offer a career path for young people into swimming. With the introduction of school sport competition managers, we may at long last see relevant school swimming competition on the agenda at all levels.

Everyday Swim The ASA has secured £3 million from Sport England for an exciting new national programme called Everyday Swim. The money will underpin bold regional projects that improve people’s experience of swimming and drive up participation.

Partnerships Work with the private sector continues and more organisations are developing effective working relationships with the ASA. We are adjusting our policies to encourage these organisations into membership as they have much to offer us. The growth of swimming in the private sector is enormous.

Swimming for all, for life The ASA is working with the Department of Health on projects such as Health & Sport road shows to raise awareness among health professionals of how swimming can help people maintain a healthy lifestyle, and on the development of a website to help pool providers use free swimming initiatives effectively.

VISION

BY 2009

Swim for Health project Funded by the Department of Health, this project aims to increase participation in swimming among three key groups in Hull and East Riding: young children and their families, older people, and employees through the work place.

“SWIMMING REMAINS THE MOST POPULAR PARTICIPATION SPORT.” MINTEL 2005

South Tyneside Northern Rock Foundation awarded the ASA North East region £33,000 each year for three years for a health project within South Tyneside to improve the health of the residents through a range of sustainable swimming initiatives; this will be achieved through working with key target groups who are identified as having insufficient levels of physical activity to maintain good health.

Masters swimming Masters swimming continues to flourish and the annual ASA Championships remain an outstanding event, regularly attracting a near capacity entry in excess of 1,000 swimmers. The 2004 event was the most successful championship meet held so far. The Half Hour Postal Swim continues to attract a hard core of distance swimmers, with this year’s swim attracting 241 individual and 49 team entries.

To ensure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy swimming as part of a healthy lifestyle and to ensure everyone can achieve his or her personal goals. The ASA will continue to work to ensure that everyone learning to swim continues to benefit from participation in the sport to the level to which they aspire throughout their lifetime.

Achieving the Vision Section 3 Athlete Development Long Term Athlete Development is now in place for all our sports and provides a sound scientific base for decision-making around important issues such as coach education, competition planning and talent pathways. Swim 21 has been thoroughly reviewed and will be launched in January for all disciplines. This target has been revised to 250 for 2005-6, as there have been slower accreditations due to some courses not taking place. This has now been addressed by putting in place course subsidies through the regions, where appropriate. Swimming Throughout the course of 2005, the World Class Age Programme worked with in excess of 90 athletes from across the UK to provide a dedicated programme of training camps and clinics. Underpinning these opportunities, the Age Programme Staff made in excess of 60 visits to a wide range of clubs to work alongside home coaches in developing their technical skills through a programme of education and mentoring. Water Polo National Academy Funded by the Youth Sports Trust, this year’s summer National Academy was bigger than ever. Overall more than

200 players and staff enjoyed what was a truly successful camp. Regional Training Centres Aimed at Academy and Youth aged players (born 89/90 and 91/92), these centres continued in all five districts around the country. They have been set up to educate young players in fundamental skills and drills. Disability Work is being done to establish talent pathways. The West Midlands Disability forum is an excellent example of this. The West Midlands Disability Swimming squad has been established with a further sub group looking at Learn to Swim opportunities for disabled youngsters across the region.

The Disability Swimming World Class Potential and Start programmes are now fully operational. The main purpose of both programmes is to underpin the WC Performance Programme and a complete review of the consideration standards for both programmes has been undertaken during this year, whilst Disability Swimming is now an important part of ASA championships.

“THERE ARE 98,555 YOUNG PEOPLE IN ASA CLUBS. ALL NEED TO BE NURTURED IN A QUALITY ENVIRONMENT.”

Synchro In synchro, a comprehensive programme for the training of Skill Level Assessors and judges has started. Assessors and judges from all ASA regions have been trained. The projected number of Level one and Level two team managers has been surpassed and a programme is in place to continue to ensure that sufficient team managers are in place to support the competition requirements. Diving Two new Diving Regional Development Officers were recruited this year. Their main focus has been on encouraging club development plans and CPD events for coaches. This year a new grass root initiative for diving was created called Flip ‘n’ Fun and piloted in several areas across the country. It had instant appeal and provided a great opportunity for children who want to try diving. It is aimed at children between the ages of five and 11 years and helps them develop fundamental skills, aiding their motivation and sustaining participation. It delivers FUNdamental diving skills, attracting children into the sport and encourages those who already swim to try additional activities.

To ensure everyone can achieve his or her personal goals and to ensure that we achieve gold medal success. The development of swimmers to their full individual potential is an important factor and we will achieve this by ensuring that all swimmers have a quality coaching and training environment at each stage of their development.

The National Youth Championships held in conjunction with the selection trials for the England Commonwealth Games team followed the National Age Group Championships. Work has continued on developing a competitive framework for all swimmers and a project has been completed on developing and validating an objective method for setting qualifying standards for entry into National Age and Youth Championships. One of the most popular website sections is online ranking. The main section contains details of over 400,000 swims during the last 12 months. Details of another 1.2 million swims from 1995 to August 2005 have also been posted. Enhancements to the search facility now enable users to view the rankings by club.

VISION

Water Polo Water Polo has established a National High Performance Centre for elite athletes working in partnership with the City of Manchester and SERCO. Both senior teams have been boosted by their inclusion in January’s Commonwealth Water Polo Championships. This competition has been identified as a chance for the senior teams to send development squads that are working towards London 2012. Disability Swimming It has been another great year for Disability Swimming in all respects. May 2005 saw the VISA Paralympic World Cup in Manchester. This was the first major competition since Athens 2004. The team participated as Great Britain and English swimmers brought home a number of gold medals as well as world, European and British records.

“IT TAKES AT LEAST 10 YEARS OR 10,000 HOURS FOR TALENTED ATHLETES TO ACHIEVE SPORTING EXCELLENCE. THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS!” A small group of disability athletes within the World Class (WC) Potential Programme are identified as fast-track and are invited to attend some WC Performance camps and a small group of athletes within the WC Start Programme are also identified as fasttrack and invited to attend some WC Potential camps. This is to ‘fast track’ those athletes on to the programme above and also to assist in bridging the gap between programmes and provide a seamless transition throughout the performance continuum. Fast-track athletes from within the WC Potential programme are also invited to designated overseas competitions in order to provide them with experience of this environment. English swimmers have also attended a number of open events including the German and USA Open Championships. The teams brought home a number of gold medals and world, European and British records from each event.

Swimming remains focussed on the achievement of success at Commonwealth Games as part of our Olympic and Paralympic aspirations.

Achieving the Vision Section 5 Volunteering

“50,000 VOLUNTEERS WORKING 2,848,418 HOURS PER YEAR FOR SWIMMING AND WE STILL NEED MORE!”

Recognition The ASA is extremely proud of the commitment of its volunteers and has launched the ASA Volunteer Recognition Scheme, which will recognise and reward volunteers at club, regional and national levels.

For classification teams and International Paralympic Committee accredited officials training is starting in January and will be completed by July, so targets will not be met in the current year.

A number of volunteers have been recognised by the Torch Trophy Trust for their involvement in swimming. Wolverhampton club member Kate Ward collected a special award for the under-25s at the Young Volunteers for 2012 Central Council of Physical Recreation’s (CCPR) Fundraising Lunch. Kate was one of 18 aquatic volunteers who attended the luncheon, which was held as part of the CCPR’s 70th Anniversary Year. Two further volunteers, Norman Haslehurst and Terry Moore, have also been recognised by the Trust and attended an awards ceremony hosted by Her Royal Highness Princess Anne in December.

Training A comprehensive training programme for trainers of team managers is now being delivered throughout the country. A number of trained team managers are now successfully delivering the programme and over

VISION

226 team managers have now attended courses and are part of the programme. Officials New National Occupational Standards for officials have recently been developed by Skills Active, which will assist with the comprehensive review of swimming officials. The ASA is working hard with the other home countries to ensure we look at how best to retain, train and develop the network of swimming officials.

Work Force development The development of new qualifications and resources to meet the criteria set out in the UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC) is ongoing. The new Swimming Coach Level 1 has been approved by the Pilot UKCC endorsement panel.

We need to recognise the measurement is an absolute figure (i.e. if we have trained 300 new officials but lost 200 the data will only show a net gain of 100) and therefore does not reflect actual newly qualified officials. We will be trying to address this before the end of the financial year. In order to provide additional opportunities for swimming officials to qualify, an ‘online’ examination process has been introduced. In addition, the ASA Racing Technical Rules now incorporate FINA Rules. These, together with corresponding guidelines, have been prepared and circulated to all registered officials.

Sport England West Midlands have demonstrated their commitment to working with us on a number of different projects, including a significant grant to the region of £8,000 to support the production of the Workforce Development Strategy.

ASA regional championships and some county championships are now inclusive and 15 officials have now received IPC officials training ensuring they are recognised by the Swimming Officials Committee as disability officials.

The latest pool to get approval is Portsmouth where the decision was between either a tram system or a pool! Facilities work is increasing significantly – not just on pool building but also on pool operation where our advice is often sought.

Developmental work has been ongoing with the two 50m pools in Sunderland and Leeds now being built. Particular focus has been on the regional club structure, identifying areas of support and the surrounding coach network.

“THERE ARE 4 TIMES AS MANY 50M POOLS IN GERMANY THAN THE UK.”

Building and refurbishment of facilities is only part of the whole facilities strategy. A considerable amount of work is carried out to ensure optimum use of facilities for all areas of our sport and agreements of use are an integral part of negotiations with those responsible for the operation of new facilities. The ASA has been working with Community Club Development projects across all disciplines, this capital funding is helping to improve facilities and benefit clubs.

The provision of suitable and appropriate facilities for the needs of the sport is fundamental to achieve all of Swimming’s Mission. There is a need to ensure that both the individual and collective needs of the community are addressed, as well as the specific and diverse needs of aquatic disciplines, including the need to ensure adequate training facilities and the facility requirements for major events. The National Facilities Strategy will continue to provide much needed guidance material for the provision of adequate facilities for all aquatic disciplines.

Achieving the Vision Section 8 Equity and Ethics

“61% OF POOL USERS ARE FEMALE.”

Equity Whilst we have achieved significant change in our sport there is still some way to go. We have more women in key roles and we have moved towards virtually full integration as far as practical in Disability Swimming. However, whilst we are seeing more people from ethnic minorities in our sport, we are still far from reflective of society as a whole.

Ethics We have demonstrated how strong our ethical standards are in a number of ways and our systems, processes and standards have stood us in good stead throughout the year.

Despite being one of the very few organisations, and only the second national governing body, to have achieved the Sporting Equals Intermediate level, we have now to undergo a broader equity review to reach the new Equality Standards for Sport.

VISION

A one-day continuing professional development module has been developed for swimming teachers who work with those who have a hearing impairment. The Introduction to Deaf Awareness and Swimming Signing has been developed in conjunction with the Physical Education Association UK and the Surrey Deaf Association.

Equity remains an important focus for the sport and the majority of staff and key volunteers have attended equity training.

We are putting into place new doping rules. The code of conduct will now be adapted to provide for the issues covered by the Sport England agreement and UK Sport athlete agreement.

Swimming believes in the principle of sports equity and fair play to deliver the Mission.

Achieving the Vision Section 9 Governance, Structures and Partnerships Regionalisation Regionalisation has continued to be a major focus during the year. All regions have now been established as constituted bodies with seven of the eight Regional Directors in post. All regions have started to draft three year plans based on the ASA Strategic and Corporate Plans. The London Region has completed a ‘Strategy for Swimming in London’ in conjunction with the Greater London Authority and Sport England. A similar strategy is under development in Manchester. These are landmark initiatives that our regions could follow with other local authorities around the country. The ASA East Midland Region was the first region to employ an Education Co-ordinator, part funded by Loughborough University. Additional Regional Co-ordinators are now in post in South West, North East and West Midlands.

VISION

Corporate governance We were the first governing body to go through the Sport England Self Assurance Programme and, having begun training for our committee chairmen and regions, we are now operating with a high degree of corporate governance. Towards an Excellent Service The ASA, and two of our new regions, are piloting ‘Towards an Excellent Service’ – a diagnostic self-assessment tool designed to enable organisations to define where they are against a model of best management practice. It is already being used by some Local Authorities and is being rolled out in Sport England and the County Sports Partnerships.

Financial Review

Change of financial year end Due to the change of financial year end to 30th March 2006, the figures for the 12 months to 30th September 2005 are an Interim Financial Statement. The figures have not been independently audited. An interim audit is scheduled for completion by 31st December 2005, and a full year end audit will follow the new financial year end in March 2006. Overview The 12 months to 30th September 2005 show a deficit of £295k. This is primarily due to a change in accounting policy on membership income from a cash received to an accruals basis – as required by our external auditors following their 2004 audit review. On like-for-like basis with prior years, the reported result would have shown £40k surplus. The budget comparative reflects the policy change, but prior year figures are left as previously reported. The remaining six months to March 2006 are expected to run closer to break-even, with the projected 18 month deficit remaining around £300k. The Association’s reserves brought forward from October 2004 were around £1.5m, so even with a small deficit expected in the 18 months to March 2006, the ASA’s reserves remain robust. The ASA Committee recently took a decision to fund £90k from reserves for Water Polo teams to compete in a Commonwealth Tournament in Perth, Australia, in January 2006 as an opportunity to develop the teams prior to funding through to 2012. This forward commitment is included in the 12 month results to September 2005. During the period, the Association undertook a major investment as part of its modernisation programme to upgrade its accounting and reporting systems. This was a large and complex

project, and not without its difficulties, but the organisation now has a Microsoft driven reporting platform capable of supporting its future activity growth to 2012 and beyond. Income Total income increased by £2,189k compared to last year, due primarily to Sport England Whole Sport Plan funding plus various grant-funded projects in education and health. This is offset by the contribution to the HPSE Potential & Start programme now being funded via the ASA – £1,350k in the period from April 2005September 2005 is included in expenditure. The ASA Awards operation shows yearon-year gains and is closing the gap on a tough budget. Membership fees on a re-stated accruals basis show growth to Budget and are likely to be in the order of £1,240k for the full 2005 membership year. Education income (mainly exam fees) shows growth to Budget but remains comparable with prior years. Net income from ASA courses run at Crystal Palace still feature. Commercial sponsorship and other income streams show growth to prior years. Expenditure Salary and staff costs show growth to Budget and prior years. This is primarily due to the appointment of Regional Directors, other new initiatives, and strengthening central resources in key areas to support rapid growth. Education costs are in line with Budget and prior year office and administration support costs are higher, reflecting activity growth. Mechanisms for charging projects and subsidiary

companies with costs taken centrally are currently being reviewed. Development costs and regions reflect the vastly increased programmes in these areas compared to prior years, and funded on the back of the Whole Sport Plan. Development costs to September include known forward commitments through to March 2006. Likewise, expenditure on grant funded initiatives grew to £576k in the period, though other than £3k, was all offset by matched funding. School Club Links and preparatory work for regionalisation were the largest projects in the period. Balance sheet Despite a reported deficit, the Association’s cash and working capital position remains strong. Adrian Wetton Finance Director

In June’s Swimming Times Swimming Times is the official monthly magazine of the Amateur Swimming Association and the Institute of Swimming .

FEATURES The return of the champions – Speedo League finals Roger Guttridge reports on Stockport Metro’s victorious return after 19 years Pathway to the top – World class development John Atkinson explains the development programme after restructuring                                                     

As good as it gets – Bill Sweetenham  The national performance director on swimmers and coaches with attitude – or not             

Swiss timing – Zurich’s 12-hour swim Long distance swimmer Mark Blewitt spends all day in a 50m pool                            Splashdown! Splash Awards                         Award winners and other celebrities, pictured by David Betteridge               MAIN FEATURE The return of the champions The sight of Keri-Anne Payne and James Goddard waiting behind the blocks for events one and two of the National Speedo League Cup final was not only a mouth-watering prospect but an unspoken message to everyone watching.  If anyone doubted, after their relative trouncing of the Cities of Salford and Liverpool in December’s North West final, that Stockport Metro meant business, those doubts were now dispelled. For the women’s 200m IM, Payne found herself in the next lane to her Stockport training partner Cassie Patten, whose temporary return to the Plymouth Leander fold was itself a tribute to a commendable aspect of the Stockport philosophy.  ‘We didn’t allow Cassie, Joe Gannon and Michael Rock to swim for us,’ said head coach Sean Kelly.  ‘I think it’s really important that they swim for their local clubs.  If we are going to come forward in 50m pools and centres around the country, we have to do that’.

SPORT CHANGED MY LIFE

Golden Opportunity: Juliana Felisberta Silva, Beach Volleyball

Golden Opportunity: Caroline Powell Olympic Review continues its countdown to the 2012 Games with exclusive interviews with stars of the 26 sports on the programme, who are targeting gold in London. After winning the prestigious Burghley Horse Trials in September, New Zealand’s Caroline Powell – who made her Olympic debut in Beijing – is eyeing a podium finish in London.

The Brazilian Juliana Felisberta Silva, FIBV World Tour Beach Volleyball champion for four of the past five seasons, missed the 2008 Beijing games because of injury – London 2012 cannot come soon enough for her.

First modern champion At the time of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, James Connolly was a 27-year-old undergraduate student at Harvard. Desperate to compete at the Olympic Games, Connolly submitted a request for a leave of absence which was denied. Connolly then requested an honourable withdrawal as a student, which was granted. On 6 April 1896, James Connolly won the triple jump and became the first champion of the modern Olympic Games.

Beijing 2008 Olympic Cycling Road Race Spaniard Samuel Sanchez bested the charging pack of riders in the final moments of the men's 245-kilometer Olympic cycling road race. The 30-yearold cyclist clocked six hours 23 minutes and 49 seconds, just ahead of Italy's Davide Rebellin to win the Olympic cycling gold medal. More about: individual road race men, Italy

BSCA was formed in 1965 and has undergone numerous changes since that time. It now has teaching & coaching members within Clubs, schools, universities, local authorities & employees of Governing Bodies at all levels of the sport. It represents the views of, and offers support to, both the voluntary & professional sectors of our sport. To manage this, the BSCA has a network of representatives operating locally throughout the UK, and at the opposite end of the scale, it has officers who sit upon the Board of the World Swimming Coaches Association (WSCA).

Lidos in the United Kingdom

LIDOS (OPEN-AIR SWIMMING POOLS) IN THE UNITED KINGDOM compiled by Oliver Merrington, who lives in Waterbeach, near Cambridge, UK The homepage of www.lidos.org.uk Where is my nearest lido? Grab a map and go to the A-Z index. My purpose in creating these webpages in 2007 was to provide a historical background to each extant lido built in the 1930s or earlier, and, as a bonus, to provide enough detail on these and all other open-air swimming pools still open, for people to visit them. The website is non-profit, and compiled in my spare time. Some webpages will not be updated. For the most up-to-date information please check the Messages sent in to the Lidos Yahoo Group.

My webpages on lidos are: Lidos and open air pools in London* Lidos in the London area no longer open* 1930s Lidos outside London Other open air pools outside London Tidal salt-water seaside pools (edited 2007) Potentially re-openable lidos in the UK A-Z index to all outdoor pools still open Links and References, including books on lidos. *originally with the assistance of Andy Hoines. Many lidos in the UK are now included in Wikipedia, see this list of Lidos in the English Wikipedia. If you have experience in editing Wikipedia and would like to help adding more entries, please contact WP User:Lidos. Please note that this website makes no attempt to list the many lidos and outdoor swimming pools now closed, other those than in London. In 2006 Andy Hoines compiled a list of Lidos and open air swimming pools open out-ofhttp://homepage.ntlworld.com/oliver.merrington/lidos/index.html[27/08/2011 21:59:27]

Lidos in the United Kingdom

season Extreme Lidos - a Lidos FAQ, by Andy Hoines If you would like to share memories or discuss lidos, you can join the Lidos Yahoo Group ( = UK Lidos History Society) which Oliver moderates. There are over 100 members. For additional images of lidos worldwide go to the Flickr group on lidos which I run. An excellent history of lidos in the UK was published in 2005 by English Heritage & Malavan Media, see Janet Smith's book. This book also contains a comprehensive list of all closed lidos in the U.K. If you are interested in swimming in rivers and lakes, why not contact the River and Lake Swimming Association or The Outdoor Swimming Society. Also see www.wildswimming.co.uk which has details of two books on the subject. A Reviving Lidos Campaign conference was held in 2006. The same year a Yahoo Group for all those concerned about the future of outdoor and indoor swimming pools in the U.K. was set up by Sally Wainman, called Pooling Resources. Index to all outdoor pools still open and included on this website. The entries include postcodes so you can use the web to find the exact location of each pool.

Rip current survivors needed to help with RNLI research Rips are strong currents running out to sea that can easily take swimmers from shallow water, out beyond their depth. They are especially powerful in larger surf, but are also found around river mouths, estuaries and man-made structures like piers and groynes. Read more about Rip currents... The RNLI has appealed for people rescued from rip currents to help with "potentially lifesaving" research. The lifeboat charity is working alongside the University of Plymouth to establish how people behave when caught in a rip current. The research is designed to help the RNLI teach people the best ways to avoid getting caught in one. Last year, rip currents were the cause of 38% of sea-based incidents the charity's lifeguards responded to. Adam Wooler, RNLI head of coastal safety and research, said: "Rip currents are consistently one of the biggest causes of incidents that the RNLI's lifeguards deal with each year.”But very little is currently known about how people react when they become caught in one, which means it's difficult to know how to educate people to avoid getting caught in one in the first place." Quantitative research will take the form of an online survey, which the RNLI & the University of Plymouth recently launched for anyone who has ever been caught in a rip current. It will ask about swimming ability, where the rip experience took place, and how the respondent reacted and escaped. Take the survey at rnli.org.uk/ripsurvey. The RNLI and the University of Plymouth have are also researching the physical characteristics of rip currents, to help develop models to predict when and where rip currents are likely to occur. Emperical research using cameras, GPS equipment and speed meters have been set up at Perranporth, one of the UK's most popular surfing beaches on the north coast of Cornwall, to study the tides under a range of conditions. The drifters are released and their progress tracked to ascertain how rip currents work. This data is used as part of a wider experiment to gain a greater understanding for beach safety advice and lifeguard operations.

About this site One of the Forum's key objectives since its inception in 2005 has been to become the one stop shop for water safety advice and information. In this re-design we've tried to spilt the information into a number of sections and add tools that will help anyone involved with water safety to work together better. The site is not yet the finished article; later this year we will be launching the public advice section, and longer term we aim to enable online access to the Water Accident Incident Database. One of the key aims of the new site is to reflect the broad range of activity and organisations involved with the Forum, and to enable better collaboration. To help with this we have added a number of ways for you to get and keep in touch on our Contact Us page. We hope you find the site useful – let us know what you think about it. (August 10)

Personal Training

Pilates is a total workout of mind and body. It can be a unique experience for every participant providing many benefits both mentally and physically. It provides the most essential elements of keeping our bodies healthy , which is breathing and good posture.

This page is to for those of you who have an interest in fitness swimming and perhaps want to improve your understanding of swimming. If however you already work with me at the Southampton triathlon club and want to remind yourself of any training principles then this is also for you, so WELCOME!

10.5million working days are lost due to upper limb or back problems. This can be caused by poor posture whilst sitting at a desk or In the car, lifting incorrectly, telephone cradling, repetitive strain injury, tense muscles or weak unsupportive postural muscles.

Sometimes our bodies require more focused attention. We may have suffered an illness or injury and our body may become weakened . At this important recovery stage we do not want to be rushed to learn at the pace of someone who is perhaps healthy and injury free.

Welcome to Streamline Fitness The Streamline fitness website can provide you with an insight into fitness and well-being and maybe give you a start back into fitness if you are recovering from an injury or need a more thorough intelligent approach to working with your body. If you are a sports person then you may need a stronger workout and that can be in the form of sports core conditioning. Want to learn an advanced exercise right now? Take a look at the featured exercise.

About me There are varied articles throughout the site and also some exercises featured in the Pilates section. Please browse through my site and contact me if you have an enquiry or a question. I have spent over 20 years in the sport of swimming competing at the highest level of World Olympic and Commonwealth games and now also coaching swimming with the Southampton Triathlete club. I always have had a great interest in health and fitness and the application of these techniques to my sport of swimming. On retirement from my sport I embarked upon qualifying as a Personal trainer and then specialising in Pilates matwork and Studio equipment based Pilates. My personal journey to teaching the Pilates technique was ignited by the rehabilitation that I received from a back and neck injury that had developed after creating muscle imbalances and poor posture through years of intensive training in the pool and land based exercise. The exercises provided the compliment to my very intense elite training and gave my body a chance to move in a more controlled way whilst adding the benefits of improved posture, core control, fuller breath capacity and flexibility. I have worked with the Great Britain World class youth and age group swim teams on their land conditioning. I have also presented at the British swimming coaches and teachers association and Sport Lancashire conferences. I have appeared in the national media in articles about health and fitness (go to media articles) and have been featured on TV in programmes such as 'This Morning' and the 'Lowri show'. I currently work with a wide range of age groups and abilities in my everyday teaching  both privately and in leisure centres. My aim is to allow every one the chance to discover their bodies potential for a more enhanced and healthy life. Kathy

                                               Swim Wales (WASA Ltd) is the governing body for swimming, diving,water polo, open water and synchronised swimming within Wales. It organises competition throughout Wales, establishes the laws of the sport and organises comprehensive certification and education programmes for teachers, coaches and officials. Swim Wales supports affiliated swimming, diving, water polo, masters and disabled clubs through a National and Regional structure.

http://www.welshasa.co.uk/[27/08/2011 22:02:28]

Swim Wales

Swim Wales aim to ensure that everybody in Wales has an opportunity to learn to swim.  History   Founded in 1897, the Welsh Amateur Swimming Association set its objectives to promote and encourage swimming and water polo.  Over the years, our objectives have expanded to embrace other disciplines including synchronised swimming, diving and lifesaving. We also hold, manage and control Closed, National and Open Championships, including Masters Swimming within Wales.    In June 2004, the association became a company limited by guarantee and began trading as Swim Wales.   Details of the earliest days are somewhat vague.  It is clear from what little information is available, that in the early thirties, most of the competitive swimming was undertaken in South Wales with the main areas being Newport, Cardiff and Swansea.  During this time, Mrs Bernice Hooper (1936-1939) was a Welsh Champion and she is still active within the association. In the early post-war years, Welsh swimming was at its lowest ebb, as few pools remained open during the war and swimmers either being called up or very few competitions available.  By 1952, pools were beginning to re-open and schools began to take an active parting providing swimmers for the future. The building of the Wales Empire Pool at Cardiff for the1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games supplied the impetus so urgently needed by the sport in the Principality.  This resulted in many more clubs being formed.  This continued through the 1960s and 1970s, aided by the tremendous surge in the construction of new sports centres and swimming pools, all resulting in additional organisation and responsibilities for the association.  Moving Forward In 2001, well after celebrating its centenary, it was decided that swimming in Wales should undergo a complete review of its workings and this was done during 2002 and 2003. A Strategic Plan was developed with a clear and concise Vision Statement. From this review came a four-year plan. The 2003 Annual General Meeting of WASA confirmed this plan and following that meeting, WASA took the recommendations on board and the plan has been implemented. There are now three regions within Swim Wales - South East Wales, West Wales and North Wales. These regions have provided the delegates, committees and panel members for

http://www.welshasa.co.uk/[27/08/2011 22:02:28]

Swim Wales

the Association’s comprehensive activities over the years. The regions consist of over 90 member clubs whose combined membership is in excess of 9,800 members. These three regions are based on the three geographic areas of East, West and North Wales, in line with both our Regional Development staff and the Sports Council of Wales regions. Eligibility Criteria to Swim For Wales in the Commonwealth Games , swimmers must meet one of the following criteria: 1. Swimmer Born in Wales 2. Parents Born in Wales 3. Lived in Wales for 5 years In competitive terms, Swim Wales is heavily involved with the discipline of Swimming and more recently, Diving has had significant success with Robert Morgan. Water Polo, throughout Great Britain has suffered a decline although there are some encouraging signs of a revival through our juniors’ performances. Swimming within the United Kingdom has received a boost by London winning its bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games.Founded in 1897, the Welsh Amateur Swimming Association set its objectives to promote and encourage swimming and water polo.

Acupuncture aims to facilitate self-healing, and there is growing evidence that it helps in a wide range of conditions. I have been practising for over 25 years and see a range of complaints and problems. My focus is on the whole person, so symptoms and signs are all taken into account. This is especially useful if an individual has more than one problem; but more importantly, it is about people feeling better in themselves in ways that are sometimes hard to define. Wellness is more than the absence of illness. Acupuncture is a very safe intervention. It is not understood entirely how it works, but evidence is growing in different fields of science. On the 'Research' and 'Blog' pages I hope to draw attention to and pieces of research and evidence as they emerge.

Elena Sheridan dominated the final of the 200m Butterfly at the European Junior Championships in Belgrade on what was a fantastic night at the pool for the British Gas GBR Swimming Team. Sheridan (Romford Town) has a strong start and led from the first turn and although she was chased hard to the wall, she put in an extra effort and pulled away again in the last five metres, taking the win in 2.10.40. The County sends their congratulations to her, her coaches and parents. Well Done Elena

１１．結婚式の受付は積極的に

結婚式場サイト

2011/07/22

男でもアラフォーっていうのかどうか知らないけど、そんな歳で婚活している僕。 結婚式に呼ばれるたびに、なぜか受付の女の子が気になってしまうのだ。 あのドレスアップして受付にいるのを見ているだけでもウキウキする。 最近、僕は積極的に結婚式の受付を引き受けることにしている。 来月も大学の友人の結婚式に招待されている。そこでももちろん受付を引き受けた。 最近ではむしろ自分のようから「受付やるよ！」なんて言っているくらいだ。 結婚式での受付は、新婦側の受付の人と話が出来るチャンスでもある。 写真を撮って、それをきっかけに連絡先を交換するというのも一つの作戦でもある。

カテゴリー

そんな僕です。だけど、あまり積極的になり過ぎても逆効果になるということが最近判明した。 以前招待された結婚式。やはりそこでも受付を引き受けた。 その受付で一緒だった女性に積極的になり過ぎて接近距離が近くなり過ぎたようだ。 後々別な友人から「アレはないよ・・・」なんていわれる始末。 結構、こう見えて僕は恋に不器用なのかもしれない。そう実感した瞬間でもあった。

これからは、合コンやお見合いパーティーでも相手との距離感を考えたうえで、アプローチできた らと思っている。 忙しい人はネットで出会う！→ ネットで恋愛・ルミエール もっと国際結婚を自由に・身近に→国際結婚のハワイマリッジ セレブ婚を目指すあなたに★→ 医師と結婚・ドクターマリッジ パーティー参加前に美女力ＵＰ！ → 総合情報サイト「パーティーガイド」 結婚・成功への道 → 結婚相談所の使い方・ウェディングロード カテゴリー: 受付をしている女性 | コメントは受け付けていません。

１０．結婚式での写真を 2011/01/19

結婚式の受付にいるような女の子がやたらと気になり、毎回写真を撮らせてもらう僕。受付をして いるみんなは、内心はどうなのか知らないけれど、快く写真撮影を許可してくれることが多い。お めでたい席だから、断るのもどうかな、と思うのだろう。写真の枚数もかなりたまって来たから、 結婚式受付美人時計も作れそうだ。 結婚式の受付をしている女性を写真におさめた後、こちらからアドレスを聞くと、それが目当てで 写真を撮っているように思われそうだから、これまで聞いたことはなかったのだけれど、最近は、 撮った写真を見せると、「これ、メールで送ってもらえますか？」と言われることが多くなってき た。 確かに自分でもいい出来だと思うけど、正装してきちんとメイクをした写真が綺麗に撮れていれ ば、記念に欲しいと思うものなのだろう。・・・・・・などと勝手に思っていたら、ある日の結婚

http://www.hcasa.org/[27/08/2011 22:07:02]

アーカイブ 2011年7月 2011年1月 2010年12月 2010年11月 2010年10月 2010年7月 2010年6月 2010年5月 2010年4月 2010年3月

結婚式の受付への思い

式で、女の子から「結婚相談所や、お見合いサイトのプロフィールに使いたいんです」と言われ た。 「それなら、それ用にもう少し撮りましょうか？」なんて、すかさず言えるようになってきた僕 も、ずいぶん慣れてきた感じだ。何枚か撮ってあげると、とても喜ばれた。赤外線交換したアドレ スに、写真を添付して送ると、とても喜ばれた。結婚式の受付をするのも初めてなら、親戚以外の 結婚式に出席したのも、それが始めてだったのだそう。その日から、その子の写真が、僕の結婚式 コレクションの中の、一番のお気に入りになった。 カテゴリー: 結婚式の花, 自分の結婚式 | コメントは受け付けていません。

９．結婚式をするなら 2010/12/03

男でもアラフォーっていうのかどうか知らないけど、そんな歳で婚活している僕。 結婚式の受付にいるような女の子がタイプで、時々一緒に写真を撮らせてもらったりもしている。 中には嫌だと思う子もいるのかもしれないけど、おめでたい席だからと、一応は了承してくれる。 結婚式の受付をしているような女の子は、写真にも撮られなれているのか、まるでモデルのように 綺麗な笑顔で写真に納まってくれる。それをアイポッドに入れて、持ち歩いては眺めている。こん な子と結婚式を挙げることができたら、幸せだろうなー・・・・・・なんて思いながら。 以前、結婚式の受付をしている子に、「合コンしませんか？」と誘ってみたけど、やんわりと断ら れてしまった。結婚式の受付をしているような女の子は、断り方も上手だ。相手を傷つけないよう に、上手に断ってくれる。断られても、また申し込むことができるような男なら、とっくに受付の 子と付き合えているのかも知れないけど、あいにく僕はそこまでじゃない。 ずうずうしい男、と思われてしまうのが、何より怖い。空気が読めない人、嫌われているのに気づ かない人って思われたら、もう終わりのような気がしてしまう。時には強引に押してしまう反面、 肝心なところでは押しが弱かったりと、なかなか上手く行かない。代理婚活で受付をしているよう な子を探してくれないか、とは頼めないから、自分でお見合いパーティーに参加して、探してみる しかないか。 カテゴリー: 結婚式の花, 自分の結婚式 | コメントは受け付けていません。

８．結婚式のシーズン 2010/11/06

婚活中のアラフォーな僕。 １１月になって、あちこちのホテルで結婚式が行われている。それを見ながら、いつか誰かと結婚 式を挙げるなら、受付をしているような子が理想だなー・・・・と思っている僕。それも、できれ ば結婚式の受付。あんまり慣れすぎてなくて、「今日は臨時ですー」みたいな雰囲気に、ちょっと 憧れる。 それでいて、普段は格安の車検の仕事なんかをしていて、その日は特別にちょっとおめかししてき た感じで・・・・というのがいい。となると、やっぱり結婚式の受付をしている人ぐらいしか思い 浮かばない。もちろん普段から受付の仕事をしている人も悪くはないけど、やっぱり結婚式の受付 をしている子には、臨機応変さも求められるから、なおさら魅力的に見える。 最近では、郵便局や銀行や役所の受付は、化粧っけもなく、カーディガンを羽織って、サンダル履 きの女性がやっていたりするけど、髪の毛もボサボサだったりしたら、いくら受付としては完璧な 案内が出来ていたとしても、なんだか味気ない。一流ホテル並みの完璧さは求めないけど、せめて 女性らしい若い女性が担当してくれていると嬉しい。 最近、結婚式の受付のほかに、ハマっている受付嬢といえば、歯科医の受付。 開業している医院だと、院長の好みがそのまま受付に反映されていたりして楽しい。これが、院長 の奥さんが人事権を握っている医院だと、間逆の人材が集められてしまうのだそう。医師のやる気 を出させる人事も必要だと思うのだが、奥さんとしては、別の心配もあるのだろう。 カテゴリー: 結婚式の花, 自分の結婚式 | コメントは受け付けていません。

７．受付の人を誘いたい 2010/10/10

頑張って婚活している僕。男でもそういうのかどうかは分からないけど、アラフォー。 結婚式を挙げたいような理想のタイプは、デパートや、結婚式などで、受付をしているような人。 綺麗で、誰にでもきちんと対応している姿は、いつ見てもいいなー、と思う。 最近では、銀行の受付などでもそんなに綺麗さを求められなくなってきているのか、仕事ができる ベテランタイプの人が受付をしていることもあるけど、僕は受付といえば、若くて綺麗な女性に担 当していてもらいたいと、勝手に思っている。

http://www.hcasa.org/[27/08/2011 22:07:02]

結婚式の受付への思い

一番の理想は、結婚式の受付をしているような、普段は受付をしていないけれども、その場に行け ばしっかりできるタイプの女の子なのだけれど、そこまで結婚式に頻繁に出席できるわけではない ので、結婚式の多い日に、会場やホテルの周辺をうろついたりして我慢している。結婚式に出席す ることが多い、議員秘書をしている友人が羨ましいが、一日にいくつもの結婚式を掛け持ちしたり して、それはそれで大変らしい。 確かに、一日にいくつもの結婚式を掛け持ちしていれば、そこの結婚式で受付をしている人と親し くなるような機会もないだろう。結婚式で受付をしていた人と親しくなるには、やはり結婚式の２ 次会のような場が必要だと思っている。そういう意味では、結婚式の会場のあたりをうろついて も、見ることができるぐらいで、何の意味もないかもしれない。クルージングにでも誘うことが出 来たらいいのけれど。 カテゴリー: 受付をしている女性, 自分の結婚式 | コメントは受け付けていません。

６．議員秘書をしている友達 2010/10/03

アラフォーで婚活している僕。 友達は議員秘書をしているので、結婚式に呼ばれる機会が多いらしい。僕も結婚式には呼ばれる方 だけど、そこまでたくさんは呼ばれないから、正直羨ましい。 結婚したいタイプの女性は、受付をしているようなタイプ。デパートの受付、会社の受付、歯科医 の受付など、受付に座っている女性には、ついつい心を奪われてしまうが、中でも結婚式の受付を しているようなタイプに、とても惹かれる。 異業種交流会でも、会で出会う人よりも、ホテルの受付の女性の方が、強く印象に残っているとい うことがよくある。受付をしている女性のどういうところがいいのか、自分でも良く分かっていな いのだけれど、たぶん綺麗に髪をセットして、きちんとした姿勢で接客している姿に惹かれている のだと思う。 友達の方は、秋になると、毎週のように結婚式に出席することになるし、多いときには掛け持ちし て出席するので、結婚式の受付を目にする機会もおのずと多くなるそうだ。出来れば一人ずつ写真 を撮って、「結婚式受付美人時計」を作ってみたいと思っているのだけれど、まさかそんなことを 友達に頼むわけにも行かないので、ただただ羨ましく思っている僕。 結婚式の受付をしている女性は、受付のプロではないところがまた良かったりする。しかも会社や ホテルなどの制服ではなく、正装なので、そこがさらにいい。休日にホテルにフラっとでかける と、偶然に結婚式に出くわすことがある。でもナンパなんてとても出来そうにない。 カテゴリー: 受付をしている女性 | コメントは受け付けていません。

５．受付をしている人がタイプ 2010/07/29

僕は婚活中のアラフォー男。結婚式に呼ばれる機会も多い。 受付は、結婚式の親族がしていることもある。新郎新婦と顔がそっくりな親族が受付をしているの もほほえましい光景だ。幸せな気持ちがこちらまで伝わってくる。 最近、カップリングパーティーに初参加した。 参加している女性達がみんな、結婚式の受付をしている女性並に美しかったので、僕はかなり緊張 していた。パーティー会場では、今思い出してもどんな会話をしたか、まったく思い出せない。確 か、ありきたりな自己紹介をしたと思うのだが・・・。 それでも運よくカップルになることはできた。 もちろん受付をしている女性ではなかったけれど、とても素敵な女性で、僕を気に入ってくれたよ うだった。パーティー会場を後にして、少しだけお茶を飲みながら話をした。理想の結婚式や、結 婚生活のことなどについて話が弾んだけれど、話していくうちに少しだけ方向性が違っているよう な気がしてきた。きっと向こうも同じことを考えていたと思う。 結局、デートはその場限りになってしまったのだけれど、自分が女性と会う前に、いかに相手のイ メージを勝手に作り上げているかが分かって、可笑しくなってしまった。これまでリアルな女性と 接する機会が少なかったからだと思う。オリジナルの「結婚式受付美人時計」を編集しながら、こ れからどんな婚活をしていったらいいか、真剣に考えていた。どうして受付の女性に惹かれるのか など、自己分析もしてみたい。 カテゴリー: 受付嬢とのデート, 結婚式の花 | コメントは受け付けていません。

４．理想の結婚式 2010/06/22

結婚式の受付をしているような女性が理想な僕。婚活中のアラフォー。 結婚式の受付をしている女性をデジカメで撮って、自分だけの「美女時計」を作ろうとしている。 http://www.hcasa.org/[27/08/2011 22:07:02]

結婚式の受付への思い

街角のカジュアルな美女時計もいいけれど、フォーマルな格好で、ホテルの豪華な花などをバック に撮った写真も、なかなかいい。 合コンに行っても、結婚式の受付をこなしているタイプはすぐに分かる。 料理のとりわけもさりげなくて気が利く。こんな人なら受付を任せたい、そう誰もが思うようなタ イプだ。カップリングパーティーに受付がいるのかどうかは分からないが、もしいるとしたらきっ と、同じように気が利くタイプだろう。実は僕は、結婚式だけでなく、デパートの受付も好きだ。 どんなに僕がむさくるしくても、すんなり受け入れてくれる笑顔。その笑顔に僕はいつも心が癒さ れる。 時々、自分が結婚式を挙げるとしたら、どういうタイプの女性と一緒になるだろう・・・と想像す る。 やっぱり結婚式の受付にいるような女性が一番理想的だけど、そうでないとしても外に出るときは いつもきちんとしていて欲しい。もちろん家の中ではリラックスしていて欲しいけど、よそゆきの 部分をどこかに残している女性は魅力的だと思う。 もしそういう女性がいたら、海外で結婚式を挙げるのもいい。あるいはリゾート地での結婚式もい いかもしれない。その女性に憧れを聞いて、理想の結婚式を叶えてあげたいと思う。 カテゴリー: 受付をしている女性, 結婚式の花, 自分の結婚式 | コメントは受け付けていません。

３．結婚式の仕事 2010/05/22

結婚式があると、ついつい受付の女の子を気にしてしまう僕。 結婚式の受付をしている女の子は、よく気がつく美人が多い。もちろん全員を見ている訳ではない けれど、てきぱきと受付の仕事をこなしているのを見ていると、そう思う。とくに笑顔が見せかけ ではなく、誰に対しても同じだと、こっちまで心が温かくなってくる。 結婚式の文例は型にはまったものが多いけれど、結婚式の受付は比較的自由だ。 その自由な中で、きちんと常識をわきまえ、それなりの行動をしているのを見ると、憧れを通り越 して尊敬の念を抱いてしまう。 カップリングパーティーにはまだ行ったことがないのだけれど、もしもそこに受け付けの女性がい たら,僕は結婚式と同じようにしっかりと見てしまうに違いない。受付というのは、それだけで全て の印象を決めてしまうぐらい大事なポジションだ。キレイで気が利き、笑顔が素敵な女性が一人い るだけで、結婚式に来る人たちの気持ちもみんな変わるに違いない。 他の結婚式でも、やはり気になる女性がいた。 比較的小柄な人だったけれど、普段は会社で社長秘書をしていると言っていたその人は、受付の仕 事を慣れた笑顔でこなしていた。そういう女性がいると、やはりみんなの視線はそこに集まる。花 嫁さんが美しいのは当然のことなのだが、受付の女性も美しいというのはポイントが高い。その結 婚式の受付の女性は、残念ながら既婚だった。できれば話がしたかった。 カテゴリー: 結婚式の花 | コメントは受け付けていません。

２．受付の子とデート 2010/04/22

結婚式に呼ばれると、どうしても受付の女の子を気にしてしまう僕。結婚式の受付にいる女の子っ て、やっぱりキレイな子が多いから、ついつい気になってしまう。 以前、デートに誘うことに成功した女の子は、ピンクのワンピースに身を包んで結婚式の会場から 出てきた。僕が見た受付姿は着物だったから、また新たな魅力を発見したようで嬉しかった。僕は デジカメを取り出して、その子の写真をたくさん撮った。できれば受付をしているところを撮りた かったけど、さすがに部外者はそこまで入れない。 よく結婚式のサプライズというけれど、僕にとっては、受付をしている女の子との出会いこそがサ プライズだ。僕は彼女を結婚相談所近くのフレンチレストランに誘った。でも「結婚式でフレンチ はお腹いっぱい食べてきちゃったから」と断られてしまった。 考えてみれば確かにそうだ。 でも、こんなにキレイな格好をした女性を、まさかラーメン屋に連れて行く訳にはいかない。考え たあげく、バーに誘ってみた。でも「お酒が飲めないから」という理由で、バーも断られてしまっ た。家まで送って欲しいと言われて、素直に送り届けた僕。その日はそこで別れた。 本当はそこで一押しすれば良かったのかもしれない。 でもヘンなところだけプライドが高い僕は、何もできなかった。これじゃ、なんのためにスーツで 迎えにいったのか分からない。「友達で終わりたくない」と彼女にメールをしたけど、返事はな かった カテゴリー: 受付嬢とのデート | コメントは受け付けていません。

"I am very honoured to be CP Sport's newest patron. Sport is something that I'm extremely passionate about and as I have cerebral palsy myself, I understand the challenges faced by people with the condition and the limited sporting opportunities available. As I have been lucky enough to fulfil my own sporting ambitions this year and launch my career in motor sport, I am enthusiastic about helping and encouraging other people with cerebral palsy to reach their sporting goals, whatever they may be. CP Sport is the only sports organisation in the UK dedicated to helping people with cerebral palsy to participate in sport. The charity offers sporting opportunities to people of all ages and abilities to help them achieve their sporting potential. I hope that my involvement with CP Sport will help increase awareness of the charity so that more people with cerebral palsy will have the opportunity to participate in sport." Nicolas Hamilton  

CP Sport is a registered charity working incredibly hard to raise the vital funds needed to continue improving the lives of thousands of people with physical disabilities through sport.

The Halliwick Concept is a way of teaching anyone to swim. It was developed in the UK in 1949 specifically for teaching disabled people to swim and is now used in many countries in the world both for teaching swimming and for therapy. For more details about the Halliwick Concept see the paragraph below. The Halliwick Association of Swimming Therapy (Halliwick AST) is the UK association that promotes Halliwick and organises courses both in the UK and internationally and has developed numerous Publications and DVDs about Halliwick. ‘The Halliwick Concept 2010’ is a paper written by the Education and Research Committee of the International Halliwick Association (IHA). This paper has sections on the philosophy of Halliwick; an explanation (with diagrams) of the Ten Point Programme, (‘the structured learning process through which a person with no experience in water can progress towards independence in the water.’); an explanation of how Halliwick can be used for Therapy (with reference to the World Health Organisation’s International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) – WHO 2001; and a link to the History of Halliwick. This paper will soon be supported by video clips.

The great news is that it is now with the printers. A book launch is being planned, with a provisional date of Wednesday, 14th September, from 68pm, at St Mary Abbots Hall (or the vicarage garden next to it, if it is fine) which is at the far eastern end of a street called Vicarage Gate, in Kensington, London W8 4HN.

Article about ‘Halliwick and Therapy’ FEB 7TH

Posted by admin in Articles

No comments

The Halliwick Concept is an approach known worldwide which enables people to enjoy water based activities and to learn to swim. In some cases it is used for therapy. Since its inception in 1949 by James McMillan (Mac), different aspects of the Concept have been further developed. For instance we have seen the development of games and activities to enhance and consolidate learning, an increased understanding of how to teach swimming strokes to persons with limited mobility and specific use of Halliwick for therapeutic purposes. This article will address more specifically the use of Halliwick when working with clients with cerebral palsy (CP) or similar conditions. (See CP definition at end of this article).

I have disabled customers with many different disabilities including: motor control problems, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, neuropathy, stroke complications, below-knee amputees, above-knee amputees, bilateral amputees etc. They find shinfin™ fins invaluable for teaching them to swim, building muscle tone, regaining movement control, rehabilitation etc. They get more fun from swimming and other water activities, and more health benefits too.

If you have difficulty controlling leg movements (e.g. due to Cerebral Palsy), the shinfin™ natural flexibility and flex will guide you to a more streamlined kick for freestyle, backstroke and fly. The fins are specifically designed to encourage a streamlined kick. They guide your muscles to achieve a natural rhythmic movement. Their ability to help overcome difficulties with movement control is very impressive.

If one or both legs are amputated above the knee, then the fins can be strapped to the back or front of your thigh. If the distance around your limb where you wish to strap the fins, is greater than about 40cm (16"), then you may need longer fin straps (which we can provide on request).

Sommerhusferie på Bornholm

Christiansborg Rundt aflyst  (27.08.2011) Rescue management Copyright © 2004-11 Ken Andersen

ØV ØV ØV, hvor er vi mange, der er trætte af denne regnfulde sommer. Og regnen gik også ud over dette års udgave af Christiansborg Rundt, som blev aflyst på grund af morgenens kraftige skybrud over København. Omkring 1300 svømmere havde set frem til at tage turen rundt om vores nationale parlament, hvortil der er valg om knap 3 uger. Københavns Kommunes Miljø og Teknikafdeling har hele morgenen igennem taget målinger af badevandet og fundet E-coli-bakterier, og så var der ikke andet at gøre end at aflyse arrangementet. Arrangøreerne, Dansk Svømmeunion, håber dog at gennemføre Christiansborg Rundt 2011 i løbet af september måned.

Nye EM-opdateringer (23.08.2011) Der er i dag kommet nye startlisteopdateringer fra EM-arrangørerne i Yalta i dag. Alle EM-deltagere bedes tjekke om de er korrekt indskrevet i startlisten. Vi kan se, der stadig er fejl i listen. Bl.a. er Ingo Svare indskrevet som Helsingør-svømmer. Ingo var dog til træning i GI40-Hermes igår, så vi tror ikke ret meget på et klubskifte der. >> Tjek startlisten her..

Info fra FINA om VM i Riccione (17.08.2011) Det internationale svømmeforbund, FINA, har udsendt en info-PDF om verdensmesterskaberne for Masters 2012 i Riccione, mens vi venter på den officielle VM-hjemmeside.  Læs Info-PDF'en her.

EM-startlisten online: Gode medaljechancer i Yalta (17.08.2011) De skandinaviske svømmere kan se frem til en pæn medaljehøst ved de forestående europamesterskaber i Yalta, Ukraine. Svenske Ronny Oltner fra Södertälje slår alle, da han er seedet til at blive europamester i ikke færre end 5 discipliner. Også Margit Ohlsson, Stockholms Polisen IF og Leonard Bielicz fra Göteborg er seedet til at større antal Europamesterskabstitler. Fra Danmark er Gitte Raagaard Paalvast, Helsingør, USG-svømmeren Ebbe Rasmussen samt Elisabeth Ketelsen, der netop er skiftet til STT i Tastrup, og dermed fået vel nok Danmarks mest rutinerede masterstræner, Poul Danborg, som træner, seedet til flere europamesterskabstitler. >> Se startlisten her..

Elisabeth Ketelsen seedet til mindst to EM-guld ved EM i Yalta

Finsk træningslejr på Tenerife  (17.08.2011) Janne Virtanen og Tommy Rundgren har igen valgt Arcona på det sydlige Tenerife til deres januar træningslejr med fokus på VM i Italien næste år. Den finske træningslejr løber fra 20. januar til 27. januar 2012.    >> Læs mere om træninglejren her

Københavner-træningslejr med fokus på EM i Yalta (26.07.2011) Så kom Glen Christiansens verdensomspændende træningslejre for masters også til København. Glen Christiansens træningslejr i Bellahøjbadet i København var en kombineret masters og juniortræningslejr med deltagere fra Danmark, Sverige, Tyskland og en enkelt fra Schweiz i dagene 4-8. juli, hvor alle dage var fuldt booket til både træningen i bassinet, styrketræning og foredragene.  - Jeg fik virkelig meget ud af Glens træningslejr, fortæller Elisabeth Ketelsen, en af deltagerne på træningslejren, og som er 100 % fokuseret på EM i Yalta om knap 1½ måned.

Sverige har ca. 30 svømmere med EM i Yalta (22.07.2011) Sverige melder om ca. 30 svømmere til EM i Yalta. Det er ikke helt præcist fastlagt, da der i Sverige ikke har været nogen koordineret tilmelding til EM. Dog skulle de enkelte masterssvømmere have et stempel fra forbundskontoret i Stockholm, før de kunne sende deres tilmelding til arrangørerne i Ukraine. MastersNews er selvfølgelig klar med de svenske navne, så snart de forelægger.

20 norske deltagere til EM i Yalta (22.07.2011) 9 norske klubber sender ialt 20 svømmere afsted til EM i Yalta fra Norge. De norske EM-deltagere Øyvind Nyhus, Molde SLK Terje Ovesen, Kristiansund SLK Davide Roverso, Haldens SK Tellef Halvorsen, Hamar IL Ragnar Jensen, Hamar IL

48 på finsk cypern-træningslejr (03.07.2011)  - Den 9-16. juni var 29 finske svømmere + familie og de to finske trænere Janne Virtanen og Tommy Rundgren på træningslejr Los Paphos på Cypern. I alt nåede det samlede hold op på 48 deltagere, hvor der var træning to gange om dagen og banerne inddelt efter niveau, fortæller Janne Virtanen, om træningslejren, hvor der afhængig af niveau blev svømmet mellem 2 og 5 km pr. træningspas. Kirsti Kanerva, 59 år, og den eneste svømmer, der har deltaget på alle de finske undelandske masterstræningslejre, som Janne Virtanen og Tommy Rundgren har organiseret igennem årene, fortæller om træningslejren på Cypern:  - I have been lucky to participate all five swim camps abroad organized for Finnish Master Swimmers by our nice trainers Tommy and Janne. First one was hold in Calella, then Palma de Mallorca (Son Hugo pool) in Spain and third in Valletta at Malta last summer. Earlier this year we visited Los Christianos, Tenerife (Arona pool) in January and now Paphos. Every time we have had a good 50m outdoor pool and mostly sunny and warm days too. So this summer we visited Geroskipous pool, we had five lanes reserved. Exceptionally we could often use other free lanes too (some time even every 10 lanes). Next to the pool was a big lawn for warm up as well as in Palma.

In Palma, Malta and Paphos we ought to drive with a bus to the pool because of distance or inconvenient route. Inspite of this I can recommend all of these places in summer. In wintertime Canary Islands are the only possible place in Europe, I think. All pools were great as well as facilities. Every time I have got new friends and we have had much fun together. In spite of several kilometres in pool or just because of that I feel the swimcamp is a splendid way to break your common routines. Looking forward to the next trip!!”

Glen Christiansen har fået samlet en lang række forhenværende og nuværende stjerner på hans internationale Masters Camp, som begynder i morgen i T3 på Tenerife. Legendariske Mark Spitz Størst af alle deltagerne på den internationale Masters Camp på T3 er legendariske Mark Spitz, som vandt ikke færre end 7 guldmedaljer ved de Olympiske Lege i 1972. På trænersiden på T3 deltager svenske Glen Christiansen og Nick Gillingham, som begge har været verdens bedste brystsvømmere og nu er det på mastersplan også. Også den nuværende svenske topsvømmer Lars Frölander er at finde blandt svømmerne på træningslejren på Tenerife i de kommende 14 dage. Frölander vandt opholdet på træningslejren som den bedste svømmer ved de svenske mastersmesterskaber i marts måned tidligere i år. Inspirerende japansk selskab Den internationale Masters Camp får fornemt selskab på T3 af det japanske svømmelandshold, som også har lagt en del af deres forberedelser til OL i London 2012 på T3 i de næste 14 dage. Der er med andre ord masser af inspiration at hente her også på Tenerife i de kommende 14 dage.

I motiveringen for prisoverrækkelsen fortalte Dansk Svømmeunions formand Kaj Aagaard, at Winnie Grønbech i mange år har lavet et stort uselvisk arbejde for mange af de ældste masterssvømmere. Hun har i mange år organiseret og taget sig kærligt af de ældste både ved rejser, transport og stævner mv.  - Det har stor betydning for alle i dansk masterssvømning, at de ældste svømmere stabilt og trofast stiller op til stævner og repræsentere de danske farver, fortsatte Kaj Aagaard i sin motivering af prisoverrækkelsen, som heller ikke undlod at komme ind på Winnies altid sociale engagement og positive livssyn, der altid har en afsmittende virkning på resten af mastersholdet. Winnie Grønbech var før masterssvømningen flere gange dansk mester i 1970'erne i brystWinnie Grønbech fik årets masterspris ved svømningsdisciplinerne og deltog i 1972 ved Dansk Svømmeunions generalforsamling 2011 OL i München.

Èn ledig plads på finsk træningsweekend (12.05.2011) En afmelding giver dig nu mulighed for at deltage på den finske træningsweekend den 20-22. maj 2011 i Pajulahti. Pt. er der 31 tilmeldte svømmere til træningsweekenden med de to finske succestrænere Janne Virtanen og Tommy Rundgren på kanten. Virtanen og Rundgren er ligeledes på kanten på træningslejren i Paphos på Cypern den 9-16. juni og her er der hele 48 tilmeldte - heraf 29 svømmere.

Svenske Hellas splittet til atomer (11.05.2011) Med Arne Juntners død sidste år døde også det svenske Hellas-koncept. Idérige Arne Jutner, der grundlagde Mastersklubben Hellas for 28 år siden, formåede at samle en stor del af de bedste svenske masterssvømmere i én klub med base i Stockholm, selv om de trænede hver for sig i mange forskellige svømmehaller over hele Sverige, og snart blev klubben en magtfaktor i masterssvømning på globalt plan. Nye kræfter er dog kommet til i Hellas-klubbens bestyrelse, som nu ønsker at skabe en mere lokal stockholmklub med et lavere ambitionsniveau, og det har fået en lang række af de "gamle" Hellasstjerner til at forlade klubben og melde sig ind i de lokale svømmeklubber, som træner i svømmernes egne respektive svømmehaller.

2 europarekorder ved Langbane-DM i Århus  (10.05.2011) Der blev sat ialt 2 nye europarekorder, da danske, svenske og norske svømmere tørnede sammen ved Danske Langbanemesterskaber for masters i lørdags i Århus. 2 europarekorder Glostrups Kate Sørensen viste endnu engang storform i brystdisciplinerne, da hun forbedrede den eksisterende ER i 200 m bryst med næsten 1½ sekund til 3.01,03. Dermed fortsatte glostrup-svømmeren de gode takter fra DM på kortbane i marts, hvor det blev til nye euorpæiske kortbanerekorder i hhv. 100 og 200 m bryst. Også Mark Vogel (Gentofte) satte nye euorparekord i 100 m rygcrawl i tiden 1.01,98.   >> Resultatliste fra DOM-L

Finsk Træningslejr i Los Cristinos (13.03.2011) Den 21. januar 2011 tog godt 50 finnere (heraf 37 svømmere) hul på årets første træningslejr i Los Cristinos i den sydlige del af Tenerife og ikke langt fra Teide, Europas højeste vulkan. På tidligere finske træningslejre har det været nødvendigt at køre i bus mellem hotel og træningsbassin, men med kun 800 meter til poolen fra hotellet var det denne gang ikke nødvendigt. De 37 svømmere i alderen 25 til 70 var primært masterssvømmere, men 6 var med som triathleter. 36-årige Jussi Pikkarainen beskriver træningslejren således: “I am a 36 year old triathlete and I was the first time in Masters Swimming camp. Tenerife weather in January was very good for all types of training. Swimming in 50 meter outdoor pool was very nice. Especially swimming in the evening in a dark swimming pool was a nice experience. Cycling in Tenerife is nice, especially if you like to ride trails with large height differences. There were 5 other triathletes too so I did not have to drive by myself. The roads were generally in good condition and the car drivers are very polite and know how to take account of cyclists. Up in the mountain views are stunning and with the bike you will be able

I can recommend the place for everyone, both swimmers and triathletes. I can't  find anything negative about the trip.” Også 57-årige Tapani Frantsi, som deltog for første gang roste arrangørerne. "I participated for the first time the camp and it was excited experience. Our training sessions very well organized, the facilities were nice and especially the group atmosphere was excellent.

Nick Gillingham coacher på T3-Masters Flex Camp (21.01.2011) Masterssvømmere fra en lang række lande får endnu mere ud af deres træningslejr på T3-Tenerife den 7-20. februar, hvor nu også et af Storbritaniens største svømmeikoner igennem tiden, Nick Gillingham, coacher deltagerne. Både Nick Gillingham og cheftræner Glen Christiansen på træningslejren har især deres styrker i brystsvømning, så det vil der helt klart også blive fokuseret på under træningslejren på Tenerife. T3-træningslejren i februar er totalt udsolgt. Engelsk træningslejr De to tidligere topsvømmere og nuværende succestrænere laver også en fælles træningsweekend i Sevenoaks, 30 minutter fra Gatwick Lufthavn 8-10. april, hvor der også vil være videoanalyse som på T3. Forberedelse til Svenska Masters Glen Christiansen er også træner på Masters Mäster Camp forud for Åppna Svenska Masters. Denne træningsweekend finder sted den 25-27. februar i Göteborg Læs mere om Træningsweekenden i Göteborg

Nick Gillingham coacher sammen med Glen Christiansen på Flex Campen på T3 på Tenerife i februar.

Finske træningslejre udsolgte De to finske topmasterssvømmere og succestrænere, Janne Virtanen og Tommy Rundgren starter i dag deres træningslejr i Los Constianos i den sydlige del af Tenerife. Træningslejren her har været totalt udsolgt længe med 50 deltagere, heraf 36 svømmere. Virtanen og Rundgren arrangerer endvidere en træningsweekend i Nastola Sports Academy i nærheden af Lahtis den 20-22. maj 2011 i Finland. Også denne træningslejr er totalt udsolgt med 13 på venteliste, hvis der skulle komme afbud.

Indbydelse til Danish Open Masters (DOM-K) i Ringsted  (21.01.2011) Dansk Svømmeunion og Ringsted Svømmeklub er nu klar med indbydelsen til Danske Open Masters 2011 på kortbane, som finder sted den første weekend i marts i Ringsted Svømmehal. >> Indbydelse til DOM-K Masters og præmasters blandes Som en forsøgsordning vil masters og præmasters svømme i samme løb ved Danske Open Masters, som det ses i andre lande, blandt andet de øvrige nordiske lande. Rent svømmejuramæssigt giver det en række problemer, da masters og præmasters svømmer efter hvert sit regelsæt. I praksis ændrer det ikke løbsafviklingen, når FINA-reglerne blot bøjes en lille smule. Den nye ordning, at blande masters og præmasters i samme løb, indstilles til afstemning ved SVØM's generalforsamling i maj 2011.

Svenske svømmere med Air-Baltic direkte til EM i Ukraine (11.01.2011) Det har vist sig næsten umuligt at komme billigt med almindelige rutefly til EM i Yalta. Derfor tilbyder det ukrainske svømmeforbund flyrejse for 50 svensk masterssvømmere med Air-Baltic fra Arlanda ved Stockholm til Simferopol, som er den lufthavn, der er tættest på Yalta. Rejseplanen for de svenske svømmere Udrejse 03.09.2011 kl 08.50. Ankomst 12.00 Hjemrejse: 11.09.2011 kl. 17.40. Ankomst kl. 19.10

Pris 534 US-dollars. Herudover skal man påregne en busrejse på 1½ time fra Simferopol til Yalta. Svenske masterssvømmere kan booke deres flybillet til EM hos Margit Ohlsson indtil den 25. januar 2011 efter først til mølle-princippet. Det ukrainske svømmeforbund har tilbudt Dansk Svømmeunion samme tilbud med mulighed for at flyve fra Kastrup Lufthavn direkte til Simferolpol på Krim-halvøen med Air-Baltic.

Sverige vil fordoble antallet af mastersaktive   (11.01.2011) Den svensk mastersudvalgsformand Mats J. Larsson, som overtog formandsjobbet efter Hasse Lindström 1, januar 2011 har klarer mål for svensk masterssvømning. I dag findes svenske mesterskaber på både kort og langbane samt Open Water for masters. Det er mastersudvalgsformandens vision, at det svenske forbund også snart skal arrangere mestersskabsstævner  udspring, vandpolo og synkro for masters. Endvidere skal antallet af aktive masters fordobles. For at sætte gang i denne proces arrangerer det svenske mastersudvalg en konference i samarbejde med det svenske svømmeforbund den 22-23. januar 2011, hvor første step er at udvikle de 3 grupper af mastersaktive: Nybegyndere, Motionister og Eliten.

SVØM søger stævnearrangører for 2012  (11.01.2011) Det danske mastersudvalg under Dansk Svømmeunion søger stævnearrangører for 2012 til DOM på kortbane og langbane samt Vest- og Øst Danske Open Masters. Interesserede svømmeklubber kan henvende sig til udvalgets stævnekoordinator Helen Haas.

every third year in the South Island. In 2010 the venue was Invercargill; in 2011 the venue was Hamilton so ideally the 2012 championships would be held at another North Island venue but this is not "set in concrete." If any clubs are interested in picking up this event, the NZMS executive would be interested to know. Again contact the National Secretary. The February earthquake in Christchurch was a shocking event to all those who live in and love the city and our thoughts go out to everyone in Christchurch, especially Masters Swimmers and their families, trying to rebuild their lives again. However, many will have seen that the QE2 complex has been closed as a result of earthquake damage, leaving the area without a 50m pool. For this reason Christchurch will not likely be a venue for our Long Course Championships for some time.
