PROGRAM
OVERVIEW
The SASI Swimming Program utilises a decentralised
model where swimmers and their coaches are supported
in their home programs. The program is targetted at putting swimmers onto senior National Teams. The
program operates under the leadership of a coordinator with the provision of comprehensive sport science
servicing during training and at competition.
Scholarship swimmers also receive access to the SASI strength and conditioning facility and recovery centre and receive fundng assistance with training and competition costs.
A coaches panel is appointed and supported,
based on the performance and selection of swimmers to
the SASI squad and provides important input and leadership
support to the program.
The Swim SA Development programs underpin
the SASI Program.
