Dept for Culture Media and Sport

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assistance she is giving the Amateur Swimming Association to meet the costs of training swimming coaches.

Answer: Hugh Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what assistance she is giving the Amateur Swimming Association to meet the costs of training swimming coaches. [203705] Mr. Caborn: The Amateur Swimming Association's coaching qualifications are recognised on the National Qualifications Framework. This means that approved centres offering swimming coaching training can draw down mainstream funding through the Learning and Skills Council, to support training delivery. Swimming is one of the sports taking forward the UK Coaching Certificate. As such, the Amateur Swimming Association has been allocated funding for three years from 2004-05 by UK Sport to develop its coach education systems.
