The BSCSC Committee aims to establish the club as a Swim21 accredited ‘Skill Development’ center to enhance training for our community. To achieve Swim21 accreditation, we aim to provide 4 to 12 hours of pool time per week. Recent changes address lane congestion, but securing an additional 2 hours of pool time is essential for growth. Our achievements include increased membership, successful promotion in competitions, and a commitment to improved coaching qualifications. We will implement a revised fee structure from August 2012 to support these initiatives.
