Developing sports is an important aspect in the development of social and cultural activities as long as community welfare is concerned. The state bodies of various countries have the obligation to offer formal holistic and systematic framework for the development of sports in different countries (Bloyce & Smith, 2009 p.78). Sports policy is based on the principle of equality and opportunity and one that considers all citizens regardless of gender, race, or physical condition (Schulenkorf, Sherry, & Rowe, 2016 p.23). Consequently, regular involvement in sports and other activities are vital for the health of an individual at all stages of life. Offering potential economic development is a dominant role in sports and other activities (Miller, 2012 P.78). In Australia, sports policy is a major concern to the government hence enables and develops a productive citizen (Howie, Daniels & Guagliano, 2018, p.78). The vision justifies the central administrative body’s cooperation with regional and local authorities in order to increase sports habits in Australia (Parent, & Harvey, 2008, p. 23). Over the past few decades, other educational institutions and other stakeholders have shown undivided support to sports and other activities that engage the youths and the entire society hence help them stay active, various stakeholders have come up with procedures to promote sports programs through training and installation of skills until they enhance performance and professional aspects (Houlihan & Green, 2017 p.56). Various institutions have established training programs which provide entry-level students with comprehensive knowledge of the academic and practical aspects of community sports, health and fitness. The studies include a fundamental and profound understanding of sports management, sports leadership and sports science, with an aim of growing a student who is physically fit and understands how to manage sports in the applied instance (Houlihan, 2012 p.678). Once the students complete the sports development programs they have sills that can secure them employment opportunities in various fields such as sports and recreation facilities, professional sporting organizations that might exist inside or outside the region and sports marketing organizations (Schulenkorf & Adair, 2013, p. 99). Sports development and coaching are about effective engagement with individuals, communities and a variety of organizations, therefore, creating opportunities that enhance increased participation, by developing physically talented people and understanding the effectiveness of the sport in the society (Chalip, 2016 p.310). To facilitate this the responsible organizations are liable of developing and instilling skills and professions that are needed to ensure national policies pertaining sports and other recreational activities are effectively delivered, this will improve coaching and increase the rate of participation in Australia.
Over the past few decades, the rates of participation have been an increasing concern among youths and the relevant bodies, the rate of participating and retention of sportsmen have been highly influenced by the contextual thinking of the sports and their significance in life (Houlihan, 2012 p.78). The thinking in both national and international levels has seen the involvement of sports officials and professionals who have come up with actions to complement the efforts of the athletes hence seen a transition, the professionals have in addition suggested significant directions that will foster youth involvement in sports activities (Green, 2017 p.921). One of the areas that have been focused on is on the sport and economic development, while the concept is an essential tool for human development, it also significantly contributes to economic development, its economic weight contributes to its potential which comprises of activities such as the manufacture and distribution of sporting materials, and other sports-related activities (Preuss, 2006, p. 313).
Swimming is an individual or team sport and is made up of four main strokes; backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle and butterfly and is performed over different lengths. Swimming is a popular sport for all ages and one that can be done all year round (Schulenkorf, 2010, p. 118). Swimming is an activity that is considered a sport, its immense benefits include burning calories and improving cardiovascular fitness. The history of swimming can be tracked back in the 1800s where swimming associations were formed to categorize organized swimming (Fraser-Thomas, Côté & Deakin, 2015 p.19). After the evolution of organized swimming later came the competitive swimming which gained popularity during the 1800s, during the 20th century the sport became more popular with the introduction of swimming clubs. Today swimming has become one of the greatest sports with its introduction in schools and recreation centers. The Australian Government recognizes the critical importance of investing in our current and future sports and activities. The Australian Sports Commission invests directly into National Sporting Organizations to fund the activities of the sport and invest directly into eligible athletes through the dAIS scheme so they can focus on training in preparation for representing Australia.
First, the Australia department of health has greatly invested in the activity of swimming, the department has incorporated several swimming organizations that train and offer swimming lessons to students who are invested in sports. The department’s main vision is ensuring health and fitness through swimming (Siefken, Schofield, & Schulenkorf, 2013, p. 67). The department in collaboration with the swimming organizations has organized events that will facilitate maximum participation of interested candidates. Major organizations have joined to form a multi-organization known as Swimming. Their main vision is to create a nation of swimmers admired by the world. Therefore the organization emphasizes training and producing best swimmers in Australia.
The organization, in addition, is aware of the importance of cooperate social responsibility and community empowerment depicted by their involvement in community projects, the projects involve the building of swimming pools and training facilities hence promoting and developing a nation of swimmers. The strategy that defines the mission of the organization comprises three pillars that contribute to the achievement of their vision. The first aspects of their strategic approach are swimming, the second is lifetime participation and the third is peak performance. On participation, the organization has established some exciting new developments that seek to build their membership to all levels of swimming. The program is set to introduce a new team that will focus on introducing swim schools and more clubs through the launching of digital solutions, the program emphasizes on the use of the new technological advancements to improve swimming and unveil the largest swimming participation movement (Lumpkin, Beller and Stoll, 2011 P.56).
Swimming is one of the most popular forms of physical recreation, in the recent past most countries have understood the significance of swimming as a sports, in countries such as Australia most of the young people have been noticed to adapt the culture of swimming following its introduction in educational curriculums, consequently adult participation in the sport has dropped off in recent years, However, many marginalized groups are missing out on learning to swim altogether , the marginalized and minority groups include people with disabilities, elderly people. Few organizations have seen the opportunity to introduce programs that will significantly improve the idealized concept that swimming is not mean for marginalized people and minority (Meares, 2013 P.78). One of these organizations is the Royal Life Saving Society Australia which has collaborated with UNCLE TOBYS to launch a SWIM MY WAY, their strategy includes both marginalized and de-marginalized people, and they have introduced a new initiative to get more Australian’s swimming and active in the water (Martinez, 2008, p. 300).
The Australian national governing body for swimming sports has some visions regarding development of the sport. The sports development has been the mission and biggest strategy for the organization. There have been established the Australian institute of sports for the purpose of high performance of swimming sports in the country. The government has vision for more participation in the sport and therefore it has set many funds towards development of the sport. Their vision is to see coordination in field of sports and in particular elite swimming.
The FTEM framework gives illustration of three types of activities such as Sports participation, sporting excellence and lifestyle. The participants are categorized into tree stages.
Foundation – In this type the FTEM frameworks is learned through basic foundation (F1) movements. In this stage the participants in the sport will be required to expose their movement experiences.
Extension- In this stage, the participants have foundation movement refinement (F2). In this stage, participants are supposed to be refining their movements in professional programs.
Competition- in this stage participants are supposed to have commitment and completion (F3). It develops more focus on commitment in training process. Participant develops competition skills on swimming sport.
LTAD gives allowance to swimmer in building a foundation for becoming an elite swimmer. This type of framework is so important since it focuses in development of human growth. LTAD has seven basic stages which includes.
In this stage, the participant is supposed to be aware of what is supposed to be done during the start of the movement skills (Green & Houlihan, 2015 p.78). The kids who are below 6 years are categorized in this stage. It involves very fun activities.
In this second stage of LTAD gives allowance for the kids to participate games which are harness their motor skills and movement skills (Westerbeek, Stewart, Nicholson & Smith, 2014 p.56). Kids from 6-9 years fall in this stage. It includes games such as octopus among others.
9-12 years kids fall in this third stage. Kids are given the fundamental skills about swimming sport.
This is important stage in the LTAD framework. It gives performance components of swimming sport. It helps in determining the potential of the swimmer.
This stage allows the swimmer to focus in one type of game. Through this way the participant is able to join the team of competitors for competition event.
In this stage the swimmer is allowed to compete with others. The swimmer struggles to achieve the victory and he expects an international outcomes.

The sports industry in Hungary has been suffering a muscle drain as compared to Australia; this has been brought about by the under-management of sports and lesser government involvement in the sports (Lyras, & Welty Peachey, 2011, p. 311). Subsequently, the problem of muscle drain has been experienced in most of the underdeveloped countries where the athletes engage in contractual basis and offer their skills to other countries that offer better pay (Kellett, Hede, & Chalip, 2008, p. 102). In addition, a major problem that has been facing Hungary in sports is the lack of college programs to nurture talents from a young age, however, in the recent decades the country is increasingly recognizing the need for establishing sports development programs in schools and identifying its positive impacts, comparing the country to Australia, there is a paradigm shift , Australia is one of the countries that recognizes and acknowledges the need to instill kids with co-curricular activities from early ages, by so doing the country develops sportsmen on various fields of swimming, soccer, basketball, and rugby (Andreff & Szymanski, 2013).
Contextual entry points to provide the assessment on the effectiveness of strategies to develop swimming is the implementation of sports related policies and protocols that can enable people who engage in sports in a legal framework that establishes clear policies that are inclusive and enable monitoring of sports people and their involvement in various projects (Lindsey, & Grattan, 2012, p.91). Additionally state efforts on the sports development strategies need to be reviewed, the state bodies implement strategies that are not monitored to the latter, if the strategies were reviewed appropriately by oversight bodies the strategies can become more effective to the benefit of the people engaging in sports.
Hungary has been one of the countries that have produced greatest swimmers all over the world (Chalip, 2016 p.310). One of the organizations that support swimmers is the Hungarian Swimming Federation. However, an expert approach in the administration of sports in Hungary is another essential factor that will add to the improvement of sports categorically swimming, the country has potential especially in swimming that if managed appropriately might improve the sports in the county (Green and Collins, 2008 P.78). Sports have turned out to be exceptionally aggressive and it is vital that they are overseen by individuals who have the essential ability in the field. The different swimming teams, associations and the administrative division of sports ought to be controlled by experts. This suggests the arrangement of government sports directors ought to be found on their expert capabilities (Green, 2016 p.217). The constitutions of Hungary must focus not only in swimming but on the different sporting activities, additionally, leagues and associations should be checked on in order to make arrangements for the inclusivity of all groups, genders, and age in various sports. Further sports authorities in Hungary who have applicable skills should be at the forefront of implementing programs and strategies that are viable to promote swimmers regionally and internationally.
The nation needs a sound and entrenched program for the preparation of the vital labor in sports. This will lighten the lack of labor that is knowledgeable about the running of the different sports programs (Hylton and Bramham, 2017 P.124). The dependence on the administrations of nonnatives in the preparation of sports staff, for example, mentors and games chiefs isn’t just costly yet additionally denies the neighborhood individuals the chances of giving the important initiative in sports (Potrac, Gilbert & Denison, 2013). Similarly as expert regions, for example, educating and solution have organizations where the experts are prepared, there is have to set up a national preparing foundation or institute to facilitate the preparation of mentors, sports arbitrators, sports chairmen, and chiefs, sports clinicians, sports pharmaceutical staff, sports nutritionists, physiotherapists, and masseurs. Any such establishment of preparing ought to be associated to the different universal games leagues and associations so their preparation programs are legitimized and perceived over the world.
This aspect lies in the government strategies and approaches towards sports. Accessibility of funds for the running, improvement and advancement of games is ostensibly viewed as the most vital elements of brandishing achievement (Garbutt, 2009, p. 357). There is almost certainly that sufficient financing is fundamental to the arrangement of players with top of the line sports administrations, offices, gear, specialized and administration faculty, specialized advancement, and the important outer presentation. Subsequently, different ways and methods for raising satisfactory assets to meet the cost of running games exercises must be investigated. Since the administration is a noteworthy partner in the help and arrangement of games administrations, it should make satisfactory arrangements for sports finances in the yearly national spending plans (Hylton & Bramham, 2017, p. 34). . Corporate sponsorships likewise constitute a noteworthy wellspring of assets for sports exercises. Sports occasions attract in numerous fans, therefore this makes it feasible for business associations to utilize them in notices of their products and enterprises (Hayhurst, 2018 p.203).
Based on what you have learned about your chosen sport and its sport development strategies, approaches and outcomes, provide an assessment of the effectiveness of its development strategies (participation and performance focus). Areas to consider may be: MMS202, 2018 – Assessment Task 1 Updated Feb 2017
Building and maintaining exceptionally powerful execution pathways in which talented competitors can learn, create and flourish is a massively energizing, yet difficult errand. We realize that fruitful execution pathways require master training, administration, and care staff, all working towards a common vision of distinguishing and affirming the correct competitors, and supporting those people to create inside an ideal domain. Today swimming has turned out to be one of the best sports with its presentation in schools and diversion focuses. The Australian Government perceives the basic significance of putting resources into our present and future sports and exercises. The Australian Sports Commission put straightforwardly into National Sporting Organizations to finance the exercises of the game and put specifically into qualified competitors through the center on preparing in anticipation of speaking to Australia.
To start with, the Australia division of wellbeing has significantly put resources into the movement of swimming; the office has consolidated a few swimming associations that prepare and offer swimming exercises to understudies who have put resources into sports. The division’s principle vision is guaranteeing wellbeing and wellness through swimming. The office in a joint effort with the swimming associations has sorted out occasions that will encourage most extreme investment of intrigued applicants. Real associations have joined to frame a multi-association known as Swimming Australia which comprises of more than 1,000 clubs and 90,000 enrolled members (Leach, Simpson and Tucker, 2013 P.67). Their principle vision is to make a country of swimmers respected by the world. In this way, the association underlines preparing and delivering the best swimmers in Australia. The association, moreover, knows about the significance of collaborating social duty and network strengthening delineated by their contribution in network extends, the ventures include the working of swimming pools and preparing offices thus advancing and building up a country of swimmers. The procedure that characterizes the mission of the association includes three columns that add to the accomplishment of their vision (Coalter, 2010 p.295). The main parts of their key approach are swimming, the second is lifetime interest and the third is top execution. On interest, the association has set up some energizing new advancements that try to assemble their enrollment to all levels of swimming (Schulenkorf, 2012, p. 1). The program is set to present another group that will center on presenting swim schools and more clubs through the starting of computerized arrangements, the program accentuates on the utilization of the new innovative headways to enhance swimming and uncover the biggest swimming investment development.
Sports can bolster advancement by producing pay from sports-related deals and administrations, by boosting global exchange, by supporting organizations development, business enterprise, and employment creation, and empower discipline (Sam & Jackson, 2014 p.205). The most vital reason for sport headway approaches is the personal satisfaction and prosperity of the general population, the part of establishments and network programs in Australia uncovers a definitive mission for the advancement of sports (White & Houlihan, 2013 p.78). The vision legitimizes the focal regulatory body’s participation with local and neighborhood experts to build sports propensities in Australia (Houlihan, 2015 p.163). In the course of recent decades, other instructive foundations and different partners have demonstrated unified help to sports and different exercises that draw in the young people and the whole society thus help them stay dynamic, different partners have thought of techniques to advance sports programs through preparing and establishment of abilities until the point that they upgrade execution and expert viewpoints. Different organizations have built up preparing programs which give passage level understudies thorough learning of the scholarly and functional parts of network sports, wellbeing and wellness (Leach, Simpson and Tucker, 2013 P.678).
The examinations incorporate a major and significant comprehension of sports administration, sports authority and sports science, with a point of growing an understudy who is physically fit and sees how to oversee sports in the connected case. Once the understudies contend the sports advancement programs they have ledges that can anchor them work openings in different fields, for example, sports and entertainment offices, proficient brandishing associations that may exist inside or outside the locale and sports promoting associations. Sports advancement and instructing are about powerful commitment with people, networks and an assortment of associations, accordingly, making openings that upgrade expanded investment, by growing physically gifted individuals and understanding the viability of the game in the general public. To encourage this the dependable associations are subject of creating and imparting abilities and callings that are expected to guarantee national strategies relating sports and other recreational exercises are adequately conveyed, this will enhance instructing and increment the rate of interest in Australia.
