About us
Formally known as the Amateur Swimming Association, Swim England is the national governing body for swimming in England. It helps people learn how to swim, enjoy the water safely, and compete in all aquatic sports.
Swim England was the only governing body of swimming in the world when it was formed in 1869. It quickly evolved into a national association as clubs from across England became members with responsibility for the development and regulation of swimming as a sport.
Product range and services
Swim England covers every area of aquatic activity. From learners to teachers, athletes to coaches, the governing body supports people to achieve their best in the water. Swim England also supports the swimming providers with information on facilities and best practice.
Swim England’s Learn to Swim programme is the national syllabus used to deliver swimming lessons to around 1.77 million children and adults each year. It is delivered in 80% of all swimming lessons and is designed by world-renowned experts.
Swim England also trains the next generation of swim tutors with teaching qualifications available through a national network of 24 Approved Training Centres.
Their influence doesn’t stop there! They want to get a nation swimming and to do that work with decision makers across national, regional and local governments to ensure swimming is taught in primary schools, it is seen as a way of supporting the NHS, and that local communities have access to the swimming pools they deserve.
Plans for the next 12 months
Swim England is working towards a 10-year strategic vision as it bids to remove the barriers to participation and ensure its sports and activities are ‘accessible, inclusive and safe for everyone.’
The vision recognises the ‘chronic challenges’ facing the sector which is threatening one of the ‘nation’s greatest assets’ and how it plans to work with partners to tackle inequalities and ensure Access to Aquatics for all.
The strategy focuses Swim England’s work up until 2033 under three areas – capability, people and water.
