SWIM 21 Revalidation Close >

Swim21 is the national 'Quality Benchmark' for excellence issued by the ASA to a club which can demonstrate that it is well run - and provides a high quality, safe and child-friendly environment which enables swimmers and volunteers to achieve their full potential.

In December, 2010 Boldmere SC achieved Swim 21 accreditation at both Teaching (Instruction) and Skill Development (Coaching for Competition) Levels. Having achieved Swim 21 accreditation, in subsequent years the club has to submit a Development Plan which identifies areas for improvement during the next 12 months - and courses of action to achieve the identified goals. We submitted an Action Plan for 11-12 in September, and are pleased to hear that the West Midlands Region has recommended to the National Panel that our Swim 21 status should be revalidated following the submission of our "comprehensive improvement plans". The Regional Director has thanked the club for its submission and wishes to thank our members and committee "for their hard work and dedication this year".

Who are Boldmere Swimming Club?

Boldmere SC is one of the longest established swimming clubs in the Midlands, with the largest number of active members of any sports club in the UK's second city. Currently we have over 500 members attending 17 sessions at 8 venues, with more than 150 regularly taking part in competitive swimming and water polo events.

The club was formed in the 19th century by a group of enthusiasts who swam regularly in the pools of Sutton Park (on the north eastern edge of the Birmingham conurbation) taking its name from the adjacent village of Boldmere which today forms one of several residential areas that make up the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield.
