The Swim England Club Health Tracker is currently open for clubs to complete.
The tracker, delivered by Sporting Insights, is an online tool for clubs to easily examine their development work and hone in on any of the six core areas of club life – coaching and teaching, financial management, pool operator relationships, governance and standards, growth, and volunteers.
Clubs have the opportunity to complete the tracker once annually and by doing so, can clearly see and quantify progress in specific areas.
Once completed, the Club Health Tracker awards an overall ‘health score’ and interactive results which displays club scores compared to an average from other clubs regionally and nationally.
Ahead of the tracker reopening for year two, Alice Fairhall, Swim England club development project officer, explained that she is looking forward to finding out more from those clubs and how they can support them going forward.
She said: “We received so much positive feedback last year and learnt a lot because of its findings, so I’m really looking forward to the tracker reopening for its second year.
“Clubs particularly liked how they got their results instantly and we enjoyed working with them to help them overcome the challenges identified.
“It has also been invaluable to Swim England to help us recognise trends and target our resources into certain areas so that we can create a more sustainable future for all our clubs.”
All club secretaries will receive log in details via email for each section of their club, which will enable them to access the Club Health Tracker for year two, beginning in October 2023. The tracker is open to access and complete until early 2024.
A short Club Health Tracker webinar has been recorded and is available to view at: https://swimming.app.box.com/s/0mlvu9d337apn4egpnu87fju53u5krif
