swiMark Club Accreditation Scheme - Successful Club Development

Clubs that are well managed and represent their local community tend to be successful and sustainable. They have well ordered finances; volunteers and members are kept informed with good communication and if the day to day running of the club is dealt with efficiently, strong links can be formed with external partners such as sports development and local schools.

Club Development

The Scottish Governing Body Swimmark programme will assist Clubs with their development and planning for the future. It is hoped that clubs can be encouraged to sign up to this programme and with assistance being provided at a local and regional level to support them through this process.

With the appointment of the new Volunteer Development Officer at Scottish Swimming, we will be working closely with Clubs to identify what they need volunteers for and how we can target various organisations to attract volunteers into swimming.
