International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Swimming's Sport Technical Committee spent two days discussing the 2013-2016 strategic plan, and in particular events lined up for 2015.

The strategic plan focuses on six areas: Paralympic Games and World Championships, athlete development, Paralympic brand, funding, organisational capacity and strategic partnerships.

During the meeting in the German capital Berlin, which was held alongside a gathering of the IPC's Governing Board, members looked at activities around education for officials, as well as broadcast and media coverage and an "innovative research project" within classification for visually impaired athletes.

Made up of technical officials, classifiers and Para-swimming experts, the Committee began work on developing an operational plan for next year.

It is a year that is due to feature the IPC Swimming World Championships in Glasgow from July 13 to 19.

They also discussed the increasing profile of Para-swimming since London 2012.

Jane D. Blaine, chairperson of the Committee, said: "I'm very pleased with the work the Sport Technical Committee has done in planning for 2015 and in the progress IPC Swimming has made towards executing its strategic plan."

After the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, the next strategic plan is due for publication.
