Para-training development programme

Each season, we host a development programme for para-swimmers to gain confidence and learn new skills. This is also a great opportunity for parents and coaches to develop their knowledge, gaining a deeper understanding of their swimmers impairment and how they can be supported.

There are 3 sessions per year, each day consisting of a pool and land training session, delivered by coaches with a range of experiences with para athletes.

There is an eligibility criteria, but it is open to swimmers with a classification, or on the waiting list to receive one.

To find out more about the next programme, head to our calendar and search for the programme event page.
