Performance Pathway
Training Group Information
The Performance Pathway is for talented and committed swimmers who hold, or are working towards, a North East Regional qualifying time and who are aiming to progress to regional finals and beyond.
The primary focus is preparation for Regional Championships, National Championships and, where appropriate, British Championships.
Swimmers may be dual members with another club but are expected to represent TYSSS at regional and national level where they are competing as part of the TYSSS Performance Pathway.
The pathway supports the retention and continued development of older swimmers in line with Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) principles. It also provides additional high-quality training opportunities for athletes who may not have sufficient session access elsewhere.
This approach enables swimmers to continue their development and fulfil their potential, while contributing to the competitive depth of TYSSS and supporting positive links with other clubs in the area.
Swimmers on the Performance Pathway may train within:
Performance Development (PD)
Advanced Competition (AC)
Competition Gold - selected swimmers at the discretion of the coaching team
Placement and continued membership of the Performance Pathway are determined by the Head Coach and Assistant Head Coach, based on the swimmer’s individual circumstances, development and suitability for the pathway.
