What is swim 21?

swim21 accreditation is the ASA’s 'quality mark'.  It is about creating the best possible swimming experience for all and raising the quality of swimming provision across all areas.

But swim21 is not just a badge of honour. swim21 is a development tool that allows swimmers, teachers, coaches and  those responsible for developing programmes to continually improve. 

swim21 is now available in three strands:

swim21 Club Accreditation: This section is specifically designed for all ASA clubs. 

swim21 Learn to Swim Accreditation: This is for anyone offering a learn to swim programme who is not an ASA affiliated club e.g. swim schools, leisure operators, local authorities, school swimming programmes, private health clubs, holiday learn to swim schemes.

swim21 School Swimming Accreditation: This is for organisations running a school swimming programme.
