Parents evening – Tuesday 4th February

Swim Conwy Performance Pathway April 2014

Welcome

• Introductions• A Brief History• The new structure• Fees • Questions and Discussion

• Introductions• A Brief (recent) History• Late 2012 NPD suggests radical change to the existing

structure. • This is not acceptable to the clubs, so they are tasked with

creating a structure LTAD compliant.• A workable solution is now on the table.

Why?

“If we do what we’ve always done.... ....... we’ll get what we’ve always got”

• Swim Wales Performance Plan13 centres across WalesPerformance Swimming Inspires others and ensures funding

to help grass roots development.

Consideration needs to be given to the most appropriate coaching for pathway swimmers.

Development Day programme could provide the opportunity to get all levels of swimmers mixing, along with joint targeted meets

Programme would also give other club personnel e.g. Coaches, Welfare Officers, more opportunities to work together and share best practice.
