Membership
Down Syndrome Swimming Great Britain is the national organisation that supports high performance swimmers with Down syndrome over the age of 13, to compete at national and international level. Our swimmers from around the country generally train and compete with mainstream swimming clubs in their area and have membership with Scottish Swimming, Swim Wales or Swim England. DSS-GB swimmers who compete at international level are registered with the Sports Union for athletes with Down Syndrome (SU-DS).
Our swimmers train together three or four times a year at intensive training camps and each year we attend either European or World Down Syndrome Swimming Championships.
All members of the DSS-GB squad compete regularly at licensed swimming competitions and must achieve and maintain a minimum of four Membership Criteria qualification times (see below).
Members are expected to train in the pool at least four times each week and participate in other physical activity twice each week. They are also expected to attend DSS-GB training camps.
