RAF Swimming

Official account of RAF Swimming, Water polo and Diving. These are major sports within the RAF and have some of the most talented and committed personnel!

So sad to see the state of our diving boards compared to the Army facilities. Just £20k was needed three years ago to sustain them, but without the backing they're now going to be removed permanently; an era closes. JN @RAFCentralFund

The PM’s announcement is a huge step forward for Future Combat Air System and the new Space Command. It confirms the UK’s position as a global leader in air & space power, building the Next Generation RAF to protect our nation into the future. @DefenceHQ @RoyalAirForce

A @RAFBBMF Hurricane has been lit up in blue as an act of remembrance and reflection for all who have been lost to COVID-19.

#LightItBlue is a chance for the nation to come together and pay our respects.

[Royal British Legion @PoppyLegion]

We are incredibly sad to hear of the passing of Dame Vera Lynn, an unforgettable British icon, symbol of hope to the Armed Forces Community past and present, and much loved longstanding Legion supporter. Our thoughts are with her loved ones.

Today, we mark the 76th anniversary of #DDay and remember all those who fought for our freedom on 6 June 1944, and those who gave their lives. #LestWeForget #DDay76

Cannot wait to get back in the pool! Who would agree? JN

[Air Chief Marshal Harv Smyth, CAS RAF @HarvSmyth]

Well done. Not that long ago, you would have been tweeting about how a Cadet has landed a fighter jet in a simulator ... now it’s docking in Space. Brilliant stuff. #NextGeneration

Apologies for the poor quality but here’s some water polo! JN #rafsa #rafwaterpolo https://t.co/1hsyLpWNn4

[RAF Swimming @RAFSwimming]

Divers practicing for the RAF championships tomorrow at Cranwell. With the boards having been removed we are limited now to just 1 metre springboard, and no full suite of diving opportunities. But we carry on!

[Air Chief Marshal Harv Smyth, CAS RAF @HarvSmyth]

I’ve changed my Twitter handle to the more generic @HarvSmyth as I’ll be transitioning from the AOC 1Gp role in April to become UK’s “Director Space”.

I’ll keep tweeting, but the content will change to reflect my Space role: fast jets out...faster rockets in !! #NoOrdinaryJob

[Royal Air Force Rowing Club @RAF_Rowing_Club]

looking back on an excellent weekend of indoor rowing at the World Rowing Indoor Championships, where a small but select team of RAF rowers put in some truly epic performances. Well done to everyone who took part!
