Swim England North East is delighted to support Swim England’s exciting new strategy, One Swim England, a transformative vision to lead and serve the aquatics community, fostering safe, enjoyable, and successful aquatic experiences for everyone.
A Shared Vision
The One Swim England strategy reflects Swim England’s commitment to inclusivity, innovation, and excellence. Developed in collaboration with the aquatics community, it outlines a clear pathway for growth and sustainability, guided by strong principles and 18 ambitious goals. Together, these pillars emphasise Swim England’s mission to create a welcoming environment for people of all ages and backgrounds to embrace swimming and aquatic activity.
At Swim England North East, we recognise the deep alignment between One Swim England and our own Regional Strategy. Both initiatives champion accessibility, diversity, and the celebration of achievements at all levels, from grassroots participation to high-level excellence.
Working Together Towards Shared Goals
As a region, we will use the guiding principles of One Swim England to inspire and drive our strategic efforts. Key alignments include:
- Inclusive Participation: Collaborating with clubs, schools, and communities to break down barriers to participation, ensuring aquatics is accessible to all.
- Pathways to Success: Supporting athletes, coaches, and volunteers to achieve their full potential through structured programs and development opportunities.
- Community Engagement: Encouraging partnerships and initiatives that promote the physical and mental health benefits of swimming and aquatic activity.
Leading with Purpose
The launch of One Swim England offers a renewed sense of purpose to the entire Swim England family. As a region, we will continue to build on this momentum, embedding these principles into our programmes and supporting our clubs, members, and volunteers to embody the culture and values of One Swim England.
Together, we are not just a region or a national governing body; we are part of a unified community working toward a shared vision.
Join Us in Shaping the Future
We invite all members of our community to join us in championing the principles of One Swim England. Whether you are learning to swim, volunteering at a local club, or competing at the highest level, your contributions are vital to the success of this bold and inclusive strategy.
Together, we are stronger. Together, we are One Swim England.
