Swimmers & Parents

Swim England recognise that swimmers and parents are key stakeholders within competitive swimming and we aim to provide information and guidance to support their journey.

The England Talent Team have created a variety of swimmer and parent resources to share with the competitive swimming community, with a view to creating more awareness, understanding and application of gained knowledge to support swimmers to be the best versions of themselves.

Within this section you will find resources such as infographics, videos, presentations, links and zoomcasts discussing an array of topics to support the holistic development of swimmers and their parents (also known as logistical managers).
