Chepstow and District
Swimming Club has been awarded Dragon Mark Club accreditation (core award
level - club management) which is Swim Wales's 'quality mark'. This is
national recognition that the club is providing safe, effective and quality
services to all its members
Dragon Mark Club Accreditation is Swim Wales's Club Development model, a
planning tool, based on the principles of Long Term Athlete Development,
enabling clubs to help swimmers, teachers, coaches and committees to achieve
their full potential. It focuses particularly on the needs of the swimmers,
striving to provide them with the best possible support and environment. The
benefits of becoming a Dragon Mark Accredited Club are mainly seen through
the process itself. The programme enhances club management, strengthens the
structures and unites the club with a philosophy and programmes that ensure
the best environment is available for our swimmers. The award is not just a
badge of honour but is a development tool that allows the club to
continually improve.
