We are finalising our detailed return to swimming competition guidance and are keen for events to resume as soon ‘as is possible and practicable’.
We are also continuing to work with all leadership groups to look at the safe return of competitions for all aquatic disciplines 👇
On #InternationalVolunteerDay we want to say a big thank you to all our aquatic volunteers!
2020 has been far from normal, but thanks for all your hard work during lockdown and finding new ways of working 👏
We couldn't do it without you!

.@OliverDowden, Secretary of State for the @DCMS has announced that outdoor pools will be allowed to reopen from Saturday 11 July, with indoor pools allowed to begin reopening from Saturday 25 July!
Full story ⬇️
"By ignoring the swimming sector in the latest easing of lockdown, the Government has let down millions who rely on being in the water"
Swim England CEO @JMNSwimmer expresses her ‘dismay and frustration’ at the continued failure from @GOVUK and @10DowningStreet ⬇️ #OpenOurPools
"It was a decision we deliberated long and hard over but felt with uncertainty still surrounding the pandemic and when mass gatherings will be allowed, we were better off starting to prepare for next year."
Swim England calls off the remainder of its 2020 national events ⬇️
On the final day of #VolunteersWeek2020 we want to re-share our message of thanks from @JMNSwimmer and all at Swim England to all of our volunteers! 💙
