The group comprises Swim England Limited, Swim England Trading Limited and the Institute of Swimming, its wholly owned training subsidiary and a leading provider of aquatics education and qualifications.
Swim England has a clear vision: Great experiences in water. For all. For life. Through its bold and ambitious One Swim England strategy, the organisation is focused on strengthening clubs, increasing and diversifying participation, improving access to water, tackling inequalities through water and supporting safe, enjoyable and successful experiences across aquatics. The Chief Executive will lead the next phase of delivery, turning strategic ambition into meaningful impact for members, clubs, volunteers and communities.
The CEO joins at a pivotal moment. Following the Listening Report and the launch of One Swim England, Swim England is delivering a significant programme of organisational transformation, strengthening governance, culture, digital capability and financial sustainability. A comprehensive Governance Review is underway to strengthen board and organisational governance and support delivery of One Swim England, and this is a rare opportunity to lead that transformation, strengthen relations and confidence across the aquatics community, unlock the full potential of aquatics across England, and ensure Swim England remains resilient, relevant and fit for the future.
Accountable to the Swim England Board, the CEO provides strategic and operational leadership across the Swim England group, comprising Swim England Limited, Swim England Trading Limited and the Institute of Swimming. The CEO is responsible for translating One Swim England into delivery, leading organisational transformation, strengthening financial sustainability and ensuring Swim England continues to deliver safe, inclusive and successful experiences across aquatics. Key relationships include the Board and its committees, members, clubs, volunteers, regions and counties, alongside pool owners and operators, Sport England, the Home Country Sports Councils, Aquatics GB, education, health and community partners and the media.
