SwimMark and Swim England accreditation

SwimMark accreditation

SwimMark accreditation is Swim Englands ‘quality mark’.  SwimMark is about creating the best possible swimming experience for all, raising the quality of swimming provision across all areas and embedding the Safeguarding of young swimmers at the heart of all Club activities.
It ensures that the club focus specifically on the needs of athletes, providing them with the best possible support and environment and requires the annual provision of key evidence to a national panel to demonstrate on-going quality.
The accreditation allows the club to access funding to support workforce development and training camps.
SwimMark has a strong focus on partnership work, requiring the club to develop and maintain networks with other clubs, schools and organisations such as Kirklees Active Leisure and Kirklees Council.

Swim England Membership

For swimmers to be able to take part in competitive swimming, they must be members of a Swimming Club affiliated to Swim England. The Borough of Kirklees SC offers this facility for its members.
