Clubs in the North West are being given the chance to benefit from up to £2,000 in grants.
Swim North West have launched a new club grant fund for clubs who are actively working towards or have achieved SWIM 21 accreditation to support the development of coaches, teachers and volunteers.
Over the past six months the Swim North West team has been out and about listening to clubs’ views on how the region can help support the clubs and their personnel.
Michael Hunt, Regional Director for Swim North West, said: “The main messages that we are hearing is that our clubs want more coach and teacher courses and more Continuous Professional Development opportunities at a cost that is affordable to their members.”
