Swim England Club Accreditation

Swim England Club Accreditation is the ASA’s ‘quality mark’. It recognises nationally and regionally the clubs that are committed to providing safe, effective and quality services for the benefit of their members.

But Swim England Club Accreditation is not a badge of honour. It is the ASA’s Club Development model – a planning tool, based on the principles of Long Term Athlete Development, enabling clubs to help athletes, teachers, coaches and administrators to achieve their full potential. It focuses particularly on the needs of athletes – striving to provide them with the best possible support and environment.

Clubs who want to secure Swim England Accreditation work steadily towards gaining of a series of outcomes, all of which are seen as essential if the right level of support is to be provided at each stage of an athlete’s development.

Swim England Club Accreditation is available to ASA clubs of all aquatic disciplines that are positioned at one or more of five levels:

• Foundation
• Teaching
• Skill Development
• Competitive Development
• Performance

The ASA has a commitment to achieving its equity targets throughout the sport. Swim England is no different and the ASA is keen to support clubs in the shared objective of widening the participation base and hence the performance of the sport as a whole.

Stockton Amateur Swimming Club has achieved Swim England accreditation to the following levels:

• Foundation (Masters)
• Teaching

We continue to work towards maintaining our current accreditation levels year on year, whilst striving to work towards achieving full accreditation
