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.

We believe that learning to swim is a process that should be done early and done properly. When this happens, establishing a lifetime of beautiful, effortless swimming is usually merely a formality.
Our pioneering approach has long been recognised and approved by parents, students, universities and fellow academics. We focus first on water confidence before gradually adding the integral mechanics one by one, which are then combined over time to produce assured, elegant swimming.
Swimming Nature was established in 1993 and has since taught thousands of babies, children, and adults how to swim as nature intended us to. Today, we teach over 8,000 students every week and operate our pools out of our HQ in Bayswater, West London, where we have a dedicated team of customer service assistants. We currently employ over 100 swimming instructors across the UK, but we are growing rapidly, and new positions are often opening up.
The training arm of our company, Swimming Nature Network, offers to train and partner with pools, health clubs and leisure centres. This has allowed us to implement our swimming programmes, whilst our principles and techniques have expanded.
Swim naturally, with Swimming Nature.
