Congratulations to Molly Greatbatch, who has been selected to take part in Swim England’s National Age Group Development Programme for 2024-2025.
The NAGDP is a series of camps for swimmers aged 11-15 that focus on developing technical and tactical race skills, as well as education and coaching.
England Talent Swimming involves four stages of swimmer development for athletes aged from 11 to 19. The four stages are designed to help swimmers reach their maximum potential as a swimmer and eventually step up onto British Swimming’s World Class Pathway, where they could become funded athletes.
The four stages are:
Swim England National Age Group Development programme: generally for swimmers aged between 11 and 15, these camps involve a mixture of swimming coaching and education and take place between April and December.
Swim England National Youth Development Programme: for swimmers aged 15 and 16, this four day camp takes place in December and technical and tactical development areas for specific racing events.
Swim England Youth Performance Squad: for swimmers aged 18 or under, you could be selected for international camps or competitions to enhance your future performance potential.
Swim England Senior Performance Squad: the England squad is the final stepping stone towards the British Swimming World Class Programme for those who haven’t already been selected. The squad swim at an end-of-season competition and are aimed towards qualifying for a major international event.
