The City of Cardiff Swimming Club structure has been devised to allow every athlete the opportunity to develop the skill set required to become a champion swimmer. To ensure that at each level of development the young swimmers are exposed to an appropriate level of training, in line with the British Swimming & Swim Wales long term athlete development guidelines.

CCSC Structure 2016-2020

The Performance Programme

This is the advanced training programme, which is seen as the final stepping stone in the development of swimmers to compete with distinction at a senior level. Swimmers within this programme are expected to show the highest level of commitment, with swimming being their primary activity and focus outside of education.

Goals & criteria for the Performance squads are set out in the CCSC Structure above.

The Competitive Programme

The second tier of the club’s squads, this is where the young swimmers learn to develop the training habits required to succeed as a competitive swimmer. Emphasis is primarily placed on stroke technique, while new training aims are introduced and previously learned skills enhanced.

Goals & criteria for the Competitive squads are set out in the CCSC Structure above.

The Academy Programme

This is the entry and foundation level of the club. This is the most important programme as it is where vital development skills, technique and character building are taught for swimmers to use throughout their athletic career. The Academy focuses on skills, skills and more skills!

Goals & criteria for the Academy squads are set out in the CCSC Structure above.

There are many factors which enable a swimmer to reach their full potential. We know the coach and swimmer work closely together on a day to day basis, but it is increasingly recognised that this relationship is most effective if there is trust and commitment from the parents/ guardians.

Coach Dale has prepared a guide highlighting the role of the parent/guardian in each phase of the swimmer’s journey. Parents Guide_101017
