WINSFORD ASC

Introduction Coaches Fees

Introduction

We consider Winsford ASC to be one of the best swimming clubs in the area. Very few clubs of our size are fortunate enough to have a National Coach and a qualified Club Coach. We have the luxury of both in Dave Pettengell & Carolyn Cowburn. This is reflected in the quality of training our swimmers receive and the pool time available to them.

The club has been awarded the Sports England Clubmark and the Swim 21 Silver Award for Competitive status.

We aim to be a friendly, inclusive club which caters for all swimmers from the complete beginner to national level competitors. We operate a squad system, advancement through which is determined by the coaching team. The results obtained by the club during recent years speak for themselves:

Ø Winners of the Speedo League North West Division One 2005

Ø Crusader League Division One runners up 2006

Ø Five Winsford swimmers reached the Nationals last year. Currently four have qualified for this year’s competition

Ø Two swimmers represented the club at the British Championships in 2007

We compete in three leagues - the Crusader, Deva and Speedo. We use these to offer swimmers of differing abilities competitive opportunities at an appropriate level. We also encourage swimmers to enter open meets in which the club participates. Time Trials are held at regular intervals to allow swimmers’ progress to be closely monitored.

The club is run by volunteers and, like most swimming clubs, relies heavily on parental support. If you would like to help in any way please contact the club secretary on 01606 862457 or Clubsec@winsfordasc.co.uk.
