Optimism pervaded the start of this year Recognising the massive impact that the - some good results from the English London Olympics will have on our sport, we swimmers in the have begun to review our ‘Vision’. We intend in , the new administrative to consult widely on this and present the structure beginning to work well with outcome to Council this year.

The Board and senior staff are committed to the programme, committed to change and the future as we see it, and whilst there might be some discomfort on the way, we are determined to deliver our Vision for the sport we all share.

The prognosis is that things are unlikely to radically improve, certainly in the near future.

Other Pools Despite the funding problems there is still a willingness by some local authorities, universities and schools to consider new facilities or the refurbishment of existing ones. However, in some instances to be able to afford the costs involved there has to be a rationalisation of existing facilities often involving closures and where replacements are being considered they may not always match up to the expectations of clubs.

The provision of suitable and appropriate facilities for the needs of the sport is fundamental to achieve all of Swimming’s Mission. There is a need to ensure that both the individual and collective needs of the community are addressed, as well as the specific and diverse needs of aquatic disciplines, including the need to ensure adequate training facilities and the facility Vision requirements for major events.

The National Facilities Strategy will continue to provide much needed guidance material for the provision of adequate facilities for all aquatic disciplines.

Section 9 Governance, Structures and Partnerships

The ASA was found fit for purpose with no adverse comments received following the first submission of the annual Assurance Statements to Sport England. The second submission has now been evaluated by Sport England and we have received full assurance.

Considerable work was undertaken on the Towards an Excellence Service (TAES) framework following the pilot conducted by the ASA Central Office, North West and East Midland Regions. The recommendations of the ASA were taken on board and the revised framework for use by National Governing Bodies of Sport is tailored to suit the needs of sport and all regions and the ASA will continue to use this as a self assessment tool ensuring action plans for improvement are linked to business plans. We continue to have excellent working relationships with our key partners and the grants obtained for a myriad of projects from different agencies highlights our success in this area. We have ongoing dialogues with the Department of Culture, Media and Sports (DCMS), Sports Councils, Department of Health, Department of Education and Skills and the Home Office. In addition, we are actively involved in shaping the framework of National Occupational Standards for sport through our work with Skills Active.
