Swim Wales National Squad Programme
The Swim Wales National Squad Programme is designed to provide appropriate levels of support to talented swimmers / para swimmers as they progress through the sport. The underlying principle is that it should support systematic and not accidental success.
Swim Wales’s performance objective is the key driver; putting swimmers on the British Swimming / British Para Swimming pathway and achieving medal success at the major multi-sport Games.
The pathway is therefore designed to support swimmers to progress into the World Top 16 and beyond. It is important to recognise that the Swim Wales National Squad Programme forms part of a wider UK performance pathway that includes multiple tiers of support.
