This page is designed to be a one stop resource for parents of swimmers in our Region. Its a place where parents can easily find the information they want to provide their swimmers with the support they need to reach their personal goals.
We have bought together resources that will be helpful to most parents. If you have a specific question that isn’t fully answered here please ask our team via the contact page.

A new campaign has been launched to help young people, parents and carers, coaches and club volunteers understand the importance of energy, nutrition and wellbeing in aquatics.
Fuel up and feel great – that’s the heart of this campaign. It’s about helping everyone understand that low energy can affect how a young person feels, trains or plays – and that tiredness, grumpiness or taking longer to recover isn’t a weakness; they may just be signs that you need more fuel, more rest or your body is changing.
