1 TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM 2015

2 Background Swimming NSW has historically provided developmental opportunities for athletes and coaches within the State Development Framework. Swimming Technical Officials (TOs), in large numbers, are an important component of our sport. SNSW and TSC identified the need to provide : Structured Development Framework and Curriculum Identified pathways for TOs to develop in the sport, Focus on TO retention into the future. The existing Swimming NSW Development Framework for our swimmers facilitates a platform to launch the program.

3 The Opportunity TSC is able to run the Technical Official Development Program alongside the Area Development (Swimming) Program. Area Development Days - Local level Each Area is required to conduct 2 local Swimming Development Days for each of their squads TSC encourages the ATSC s to use these days as a means of recruiting parents by way of seminars, forums,presentations and assessments. Each Area can develop this level to suit their individual situation. ATSC may request TSC members to assist with the delivery of their program.

4 TSC Development Goal To introduce annually 24 people (2 from each Area) into the base of the three tiered training scheme. To create strong working relationships and peer support for TO s. To maintain highly skilled workforce to officiate at SNSW Meets To ensure that SNSW TO s are ready to officiate at National Meets. TSC Needs Area and ATSC as talent scouts. To identify talented individuals to commence the first stage from their Club and Area activity. To encourage and support those individuals to attend State Championships and the TO Development Program e.g. Coordinating travel etc.

6 TSC BUDGET SNSW has provided funding to support participants at the two day training events in conjunction with the A Squad and the B & C Squad program. D Squad participants are more likely to be in a position to travel with their teams and hopefully receive Area support. QUALITY ASSURANCE A side benefit of this program is maintaining the quality of the Assessment Process at Area level. Newly accredited officials will be continually observed in action by TSC members at these meets. The TSC will be able to identify areas of focus for future programs.
