Swim England (formerly known as the Amateur Swimming Association) is the national governing body for swimming in England. We help people learn how to swim, enjoy the water safely, and compete in all our sports.
Our vision is of a nation swimming and we strive to inspire everyone to enjoy the water in the way that suits them. We work with our partners to create engaging programmes that enable everyone to be active, have fun and stay healthy through swimming.
Each month millions of people are able to enjoy swimming, diving, water polo and synchronised swimming because they have been through our renowned Learn to Swim Programme. Ensuring people are safe in the water is of paramount importance to us and so we work closely with partners to keep water safety high on the national agenda.
At our heart we are a membership organisation dedicated to supporting our clubs and members to develop and succeed. We maintain the laws of the sport and run world-class national events that are open to all.
We also operate a comprehensive range of qualification and education programmes for teachers, coaches, officials and tutors.
At SwimLabs, we know the better you can see your stroke, the faster you can improve it. So from young kids who are just learning to swim to competitive swimmers who need an added edge, our unique facility provides instant video feedback that transforms swim instruction. It’s the same techniques and technologies used by Olympic swimmers. And it’s now available at a SwimLabs near you.
Our unique training facilities are indoors, with small warm-water pools specially designed with 360-degree video feedback technology. It’s the same video-feedback technology used by today’s Olympians. Our technology lets swimmers of all ages and abilities instantly view their own strokes, correct or enhance their form, adjust their technique, and master their skills.
Our approach has been proven time and again to get new swimmers comfortable and confident in the water and to help competitive swimmers excel at their highest level. All lessons at SwimLabs are taught with an abundance of fun, a feeling of family, and an absence of fear.
