Swim England to carry out ‘thorough’ review of SwimMark

Swim England is undertaking a ‘thorough’ review of its SwimMark accreditation programme and will be seeking the views of affiliated clubs, regions and key stakeholders. It will be the first in-depth evaluation of the programme since 2017 and is being carried out in light of feedback from the sport.

The outcome of the review will propose improvements and changes where appropriate for the benefit of clubs and volunteers.

SwimMark is Swim England’s quality mark for clubs and promotes high standards of governance, sustainability, safe practice and is viewed as a development tool for clubs. The review will look at the purpose of SwimMark, the strengths and weaknesses of the current process and what an accreditation programme should look like in the future.
