Dumfries Amateur Swimming Club has recently been awarded the AQUAMARK 1
Achieving Aquamark 1 accreditation is a significant accomplishment, highlighting their dedication to excellence, inclusivity, and community engagement. It's wonderful to see a club committed to fostering a safe and welcoming environment for swimmers of all levels.
Aqua Mark accreditation not only reflects their governance and good practices but also their vision for long-term sustainability and development pathways for all members. It will undoubtedly enhance the club experience for everyone involved and support their continued growth and success within the Scottish swimming community.
As part of our commitment to inclusivity, we are also working in collaboration with The Usual Place to offer job shadowing opportunities to disabled individuals at our home meets. We are providing roles for individuals with various disabilities, giving them the chance to engage in new and different activities. These opportunities, ideally lasting between half a day and two days, include a range of responsibilities such as timekeeping, presenting awards, and meeting and greeting our spectators. We are proud to be Disability Confident registered, ensuring we create a supportive and accessible environment for all.
