Aquaterra makes a splash with Swim 21 award
Aquaterra Leisure has been awarded the Amateur Swimming
Association's Swim 21 "quality mark" for its Learn to Swim
programme at all four of the leisure centres it manages in
partnership with Bath and North East Somerset Council.
The Swim 21 quality mark is awarded to centres who have raised
the quality of swimming provision and who offer the best possible
Learn to Swim programmes. These include: Bath Sports and Leisure
Centre, Culverhay Sports Centre, Keynsham Leisure Centre and South
Wansdyke Sports Centre.
Jane Lawrence, Swimming Development Manager for Aquaterra
Leisure and Bath and North East Somerset Council said:
"Achieving this accreditation is the culmination of two years of
dedicated work. We are committed to providing the best possible
swimming service and experience for our customers and we're
delighted that this has been recognised. The award is valid for
four years, but each year we will work closely with the ASA to
continually improve and develop what is on offer"."
She added:
"Swim 21 is the National Governing Body's blueprint for good
practice and is an easily recognisable seal of approval and quality
for swimmers and parents alike."
Aquaterra Leisure is the first leisure operator in Somerset to
achieve the accreditation and were highly praised for their
partnership working and their enthusiasm and commitment to
developing their swimming programme, especially with regard to the
swimmer pathway in Bath and North East Somerset.
The latest improvement has been to introduce a new software
programme at Bath Sports and Leisure Centre and Culverhay Sports
Centre that enables parents to view their child's swimming lesson
progress via an online portal. The software will be rolled out at
Keynsham Leisure Centre and South Wansdyke Sports Centre in Spring
2012.
