Greenwich swimming plans

 
Local swimming clubs have been invited by the Council to help shape the future of swimming in the borough.

Proposals are aimed at strengthening support for top-level competitive swimmers in the run-up to 2012, while at the same time creating greater opportunities for swimmers of all abilities to use the borough’s pools.

Local clubs are being invited to have close involvement in the transition to the new arrangements.

The new structure will allow for:

  • better use of pool time to allow competitive swimmers to train more frequently
  • greater opportunities to support ‘learner’ swimmers to go on to swim at the next level, including competitively
  • increased facilities for learn-to-swim schemes and fitness swimming
  • the ‘pooling’ of coaching expertise across the borough.
Family swimming sessions and women-only sessions will not be affected.
