Swim21 Accreditation

The programme is a benchmark for the quality of clubs' programmes in various areas, and Reading Swimming Club has been awarded Swim21 status in both the Skills Development and Teaching categories. The Swim21 scheme can be considered as a highly coverted, stamp of approval, similar to the "Investors in People" that many businesses are proud to display. Simply put, it means that the club has shown that it develops people - be they swimmers or coaches - according to an approved scheme, and has all the appropriate policies and procedures in place to be a responsible swimming club.

Reading Swimming Club abides by the ASA Child Protection Policies and Procedures. To view these policies please click here. The club also follows the ASA equity policies which can be found here.

By choosing a Swim21 accredited club, parents can be assured that their swimmers are in a club that has been scrutinised and shown to have everything in place for developing their potential. They can also be assured that the club keeps up to date too, as Swim21 accreditation is validated on an annual basis.
