One of the key priorities for us has been to provide a high quality learn to swim programme at Abbey Leisure Centre. Over the last 12 months, we have steadily increased the number of children learning to swim to over 750 from approximately 600 since 2010 at Abbey Leisure Centre; however, we believe that significant improvements can be made resulting in: • A higher standard of swimming tuition • Improved parent satisfaction • Increased occupancy levels and revenue • More effective links to other aquatic disciplines To achieve the above outcomes listed above, we feel that it is crucial to introduce the ASA (Amateur Swimming Association’s) National Plan for Teaching Swimming (NPTS). The NPTS is a comprehensive and progressive teaching programme based upon sound technical and educational principles. Over the last 12 months, Abbey Leisure Centre has delivered their own version of swimming lessons, which do not give a clear pathway for swimming. The review of standards has not been as robust as needed and many of the employees have not had the required skills to deliver the nationally recognised programme for swimming tuition. The National Plan will improve the number of swimmers who continue to learn to swim in the later stages and provide a clear link into clubs for those who have completed or progressed well through the stages of the NPTS. The programme also offers more capacity in terms of places meaning each lesson would offer between 10 - 12 places rather than the eight places (or in some cases lower) at Abbey Leisure Centre. We originally planned to launch the NPTS in September 2011; however, there are still a number of transitional tasks needed to be completed. We will ensure that the National Plan for Teaching Swimming is introduced in February 2012 but need to ensure that the plans are in place to deliver a quality programme. The reasons for the plan being introduced later than originally expected were: • The STA (Swimming Teacher Association) qualified teachers at Abbey Leisure Centre needed to take part in a CPD qualification to develop the fundamental skills to deliver the National Plan • A robust programme of staff training is needed to ensure that the highest standard of tuition is delivered (This has now been arranged for October 2011) • Links to the ASA will need to be developed and a Service Level Agreement signed by us to include Abbey Leisure Centre into our portfolio of approved centres • NPTS documentation will need to be introduced in Selby (lesson plans, assessment sheets etc) • Parents of existing children will need to be informed of the transition as there will be the need to change particular lesson times 11 140
• We intend to re-launch the programme with attractive marketing material and a strong PR message We have made significant progress in the areas outlined above and are currently delivering a number of training courses to ensure that our swimming teachers are well prepared to launch the new programme in February 2012. 3.8 Sports Development Over the last year, significant progress has been made around the development of sport once again contributing to the council’s ‘Living Well’ theme. Although the team is small at Abbey Leisure Centre, there have been a number of milestones that have been achieved. One of the key progressions has been to increase the number of clubs for identified sports such as: ⎯ Junior Badminton ⎯ Handball ⎯ Basketball ⎯ Indoor athletics To date, four new clubs have been developed with over 40 new attendees and four new coaches involved. There has also been development of two of the new coaches professionally. We now also have six coaches from the targeted sports above on our coaching database. Similarly with Sports Clubs across the district, one of the key aims has been to support them through the ‘Club Mark’ Accreditation process. There are many benefits to this such as being recognised as a child protective club that coaches to the highest of standards as well as offering clubs the opportunity to attract external funding. Within Selby, we now have six newly accredited clubs and a further six that are progressing towards accreditation. This year, we have been successful in securing external funding for a Rugby League Development Officer, who commenced their role at the beginning of August. With the current Sports Development Team consisting of only two officers, there is a definite need to grow in order to develop a wider range of sporting opportunity within the Selby District. There are a number of Rugby Clubs within the district and opportunities to increase participation and develop stronger club links. Additionally, with external funding opportunities, we often have very constrained timescales to make decisions around funding, so posts such as this are not often planned for months in advance. This post will be extremely useful for delivering taster sessions within the community and engaging children and young people into coach led sessions in school and club settings. The funding for the post is guaranteed for two years and we are contributing £3,000 per annum to the post. 12 141
