Swim England East Region works in partnership with Swim England to ensure that we have compatible strategies and development plans. The Region employs a small team of Development Officers to ensure that our clubs, athletes, coaches and volunteers are able to access the support, training and education they need to reach their full potential. We are confident that by investing in development, swimming in the East Region will continue to improve, and that we will see more of our athletes succeeding on the national and international stage.

The Region also strives to provide a high standard of regional competitions for athletes from all disciplines.
