Swim England – Swimming & Aquatic Sports

Swimming.org is the online home of Swim England, the recognised national governing body for swimming in England. The website brings together information and services for swimmers, clubs, coaches, teachers, parents and people who want to learn or participate in aquatic sports.

The platform covers several disciplines, including competitive swimming, diving, artistic swimming, water polo, open water swimming and masters swimming. Each area provides news, guidance, competition information and resources for participants at different levels of experience.

Learning to swim is an important part of the website. Swim England operates the Learn to Swim Programme, which provides a structured framework for children and adults developing swimming skills and confidence in the water. Resources are available for learners, parents, schools and lesson providers, with additional guidance covering water safety and inclusive swimming.

Competitive swimmers can find information about clubs, licensed meets, national events, performance programmes and pathways into competition. A club finder helps visitors locate suitable aquatic clubs, while Poolfinder provides access to swimming pools and lesson providers in different parts of England.

Swimming.org also supports the professional side of aquatic sport. Dedicated resources cover teaching and coaching qualifications, club management, safeguarding, governance, volunteers and workforce development. Membership services provide additional resources for athletes, coaches, teachers and affiliated organizations.

News and features report on competitions, athletes, organizational developments and initiatives across English aquatics. Together, these services make Swimming.org both an information resource for the public and the central digital platform for Swim England's sporting, educational and organizational activities.
