• Made up of eight stages: • CSS Academy• Post Graduate • Junior Squad • Senior Squad• Masters

Crawley High Performance Pathway (ODAF)• High Performance Age Group• High Performance Youth• University Home ProgrammeCDSP underpins every level of teaching & coaching within Crawley SC

WHY DO WE HAVE TO PAY MORE FEES TO PUT THIS IN PLACE?

• Increased Pool Hire 3% (Has already gone up)

• The need to increase the need for Qualified Teachers & Coaches'.

• The ability to support the members in other areas, Land Training, Equipment, Competitions etc.

• Non Profit Organization.

• We are cheaper than most clubs in the South East

Reasoning!• The Positives Out way the Negatives.

• Your Children will get a much better controlled Development Programme which WILL enhance their development that fits in with British Swimming Initiatives.

• A more Holistic Approach

• Caters for ALL individual needs regardless of ability & Skills.

SUMMARY.
