Subject: District Regional Squad & Scottish Squad Information
All,
During recent days it has become apparent that there
is a mixed
level of
knowledge within the Clubs about the District Regional Squad
and Scottish
Squad Programme.
In particular with reference to the
Selection Criteria and Methodology.
Comprehensive information is available on the Scottish
Swimming website
and can be
accessed with the following link.

In particular:
Performance
Plan - Selection Policy and Times Rationale
Performance
Plan - Selection Policy and Times
Information was also sent out to Clubs in the monthly
mailing earlier in the year.
Please ensure that the above link gets as wide a
circulation as possible within
your Club so
that swimmers and parents are informed as well as Coaches.
I suggest that hardcopies of all documents should be
issued to your Coaches
so that
everyone is on same “sheet” and Bronze, Silver and Gold times become
commonly
understood terms.
The District Regional Squad programme is intended to
be inclusive, this year
approx. 180 swimmers have met the required criteria, the plan is to cater for 300.
Regards
John
