The development of disciplines will be the responsibility of the committees within the strategic direction identified by the Board.
Planning
Regional Director, Alison Usher and the Board produced a Swimming Plan for the South West. This strategic plan offered a vision for swimming over a 4 year period. This strategy is inclusive and recognises that there are many providers and participants involved in our sport and the need for a strategy that addresses all. The end result is a strategic document that our partners can buy into and will hit targets for health, education, lifelong participation and success.
This plan is being updated (download Nov 08 draft) so it will still be relevant. We welcome feedback and will continue to work to ensure that your issues and priorities are addressed within the plan.
