Relationships between <strong>School</strong>s and Swimming Clubs<br />

Swimming <strong>Victoria</strong> has been working closely with the <strong>School</strong> <strong>Sport</strong> <strong>Victoria</strong> Swimming Sub Committee<br />

throughout 2012. A major focus area has been to develop an opportunity for schools to seek support from their<br />

local swimming club and for the local swimming club to make contact with schools where they may be able to<br />

assist with some of the following - facilities, officials, conducting encouragement events for school students,<br />

assisting teachers in preparing their school team for the local swimming sports. To facilitate this, a letter<br />

templates have been created which schools & clubs can personalise to forward to the local swimming<br />

club/school seeking an opportunity to chat about how they may be able to work together.<br />
