Applications for the Aquatic Diploma in Sporting Excellence are open once more!

The Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE) is a specialised qualification designed for athletes/students who have the chance to demonstrate and develop their capacity to meet the demands of a high-performance sports performer. This qualification targets talented athletes identified by the National Governing Body (NGB), who are participating in a training and competition program within their sport to compete at the highest level.

This programme is specifically for talented athletes, who are actively involved in training and competition in their sport to achieve success at the highest level. Eligible participants are athletes between the ages of 16-18 or those aged 19-24 with an Education Health and Care (EHC) Plan. Please note athletes must be in full time further education for the duration of the programme, so this would usually mean athletes need to be 16 at the start of programme. (Born between 1 September 2008 and 31 August 2009).

Applications will close at 5pm on the 15th September 2025. This would be an amazing opportunity for some of our senior swimmers! To find out more and apply, please visit:
