Swim England North West is excited to launch our newly designed Disability Development Sessions, delivered in partnership with the University of Greater Manchester.
This programme will consist of three face to face sessions, taking place at Bolton One / UoGM Bolton Campus across the following dates:
Pool based delivery will be led by Philip Balcombe, former development coach to Paralympian and World Record Holder Poppy Maskill. The dry land sessions will be delivered by staff and students from the University of Greater Manchester, covering a wide range of topics including Strength & Conditioning, aligned with the Swim England S&C pathway.
In addition to the practical elements, the programme will include information sessions exploring key areas such as physical and mental health to support performance in both sport and education, as well as an overview of the Classification Process.
If you are an athlete with a physical or intellectual disability, whether you are already classified, awaiting classification, or believe you may be eligible, we would encourage you to register.
Coaches who currently work with athletes with disabilities, or who are simply keen to develop their knowledge and skills in this area, are also warmly encouraged to register their interest.
