| At the beginning of May 2005, Colin Walton, our Chairman, spoke about the aims of the Club for the forthcoming year. One of these aims was to reach the B final of the Notts and District league. The final stage of the competition took place at Mansfield on the 10th of December 2005. Not only had our Swimmers managed to reach the A final of this Competition but during the night achieved 10 first places and 11 Personal Bests, which meant that overall, Arnold Swimming Club came 5th in the Competition. Well done to all! Let’s hope we can carry this forward during 2006. |

| Swim21 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Swim 21 is the ASA’s nationally recognised Club Development Programme that provides opportunities for swimmers in order that they achieve their full potential. Swim 21 brings together local authorities, swimming clubs, pool managers, teachers and coaches. Swim 21 requires that we have relevant documentation and procedures in place to assist with the Development of Swimmers. So what does this mean for Arnold Swimming Club (ASC)? ASC is a competitive swimming club that has a mixture of qualified and non-qualified staff. Over the last year the club has increased the number of qualified poolside staff from four to eleven. Moreover, a number of the Level 1 qualified coaches are looking to attaining a Level 2 coaching qualification, which at present is only held by Rob Clarke (Head Coach) and Bill Hopkins (Assistant Head Coach). This can only be to the benefit of the swimmers and the Club and will assist the Club in attaining Swim 21 accreditation. The Club are also encouraging volunteers to attend child protection and disability training courses. These are funded by the Club. We recently had 6 volunteers attend a disabilitytraining course to assist with the training of disabled swimmers. ASC will be requesting information about any disabilities your child may have at membership renewal (May 2006). This will include any visual impairment (e.g. wearing glasses), hearing impairment, learning difficulty and physical disability your child may have. This information is also requested by the ASA. The Club have a number of volunteers who will be attending a Child Protection course in May 2006. ASC have recently completed Stage 1 of the Swim 21 audit and are hoping to attain Swim 21 accreditation by the end of 2006. If you have any questions about Swim 21 please contact Rob Clarke, Richard Marrison, Nick Rotten or Jim Shelton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Swim 21 has taken a considerable amount of work. The Committee of Arnold Swimming Club would like to thank Jim, Nick, Richard and Rob, for their dedication in helping us to achieve this aim. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
