📸 Our amazing first day at #STAconference24 Thanks to all our delegates, speakers, and exhibitors, you've made the conference really special today and lots of fun - let's do it all over again tomorrow!

The team looking very smart at the @_ukactive awards this evening in Birmingham 🥳 Good luck to all the #ukactiveAwards finalists.

The closing date is tomorrow ... do you know someone who has gone above and beyond for grassroots swimming during their career? If yes, nominate them for this year's Ross Eagle Award ... sta.co.uk/news/2024/06/1…

Well done @MaskillPoppy on your @ParalympicsGB gold medal and world record! Proud that you started your swimming journey with @PuddletheDuck !

Congratulations to all the 2024 #ukactiveAwards finalists - wishing you all the best of luck at judges' houses. @BabySwimExpert

@earthwindkernow I was guilty of this language because it was all I had ever heard. Then my husband got cancer and the nurses educated me to use different language and it made sense why ‘battle’ and ‘fight’ should be avoided. It’s just down to education. We need more of it.

If I read one more headline that in tribute to someone says “ loses battle after lengthy fight” or “loses the fight against cancer” or any other illness I am going to scream. Journalists!!!! Please, no more.

@Bluetits_Swim took me longer than I wanted it to (life got in the way) but I’ve been accepted into the flock here in Newquay. Lovely group of ladies.

#FloatToLive: - Tilt your head back with ears submerged - Relax - try to control your breathing - Move your hands to help stay afloat - Once over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety - Call 999 or 112 & ask for the coastguard. Share this post to save a life

I saw this man swim breaststroke and I chose my stroke. RIP David Wilkie 💔

"My own DofE journey taught me to embrace the bumps along the road, learn from them, and see where life takes you. So, leap in with enthusiasm." Motivational speech from @matt_tebbutt 🎤 Thank you for inspiring our Gold Award holders with your journey 🙌

Look who went to Buckingham Palace today with my son! @PuddletheDuck accompanied him to the @DofE Gold Award Ceremony

Proud mum moment today as my son attended Buckingham Palace for the @DofE Gold Ceremony. He completed his Bronze at @leftwichhigh and his Silver and Gold at @SirJohnDeanes #dofe #dofegold

Had the most amazing time in Dubai, What a truly magical place it is. Stayed at @WDubaiPalm and could not fault a thing. Stunning location on The Palm, amazing hospitality and to top it all off, gorgeous weather. Will definitely be back. #dubai #thepalm

Fabulous news. Well done Team @STA_HQ

I’ve had a little time off X. I’ve found the platform rather tiresome and a lot of my connections have left and moved over to other platforms. I did try Threads but got bored so here I am, giving X a final go.

I’m loving this initiative. It was so difficult to choose a recipient though.

As a charity, we are also incredibly proud that over the last two years through our STAnd Up for Swimming and STArLIGHT charity-funded campaigns we have been able to help many more women join the world of swimming teaching and disability swimming teaching. #InternationalWomensDay2024 🧵
