What a fantastic way to wrap up the morning session! 👏 Our panel on Best Practice DEI Models delved into the importance of fostering gender equity on boards, increasing women in coaching, advancing para-ability inclusion and behavioural impacts on DEI. The discussion not only addressed key challenges but also spotlighted the growing opportunities DEI offers for the future success of clubs, national governing bodies, and federations. #EuropeanAquatics #DEIConference2024

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Aquatics GB Environmental Sustainability Strategy on World Earth Day! 🌍 This strategy is a major step towards our commitment to making a positive impact on water, pivotal for our work and performance at the elite level.

I’m mixed & swam all my life as my Black mother couldn’t and didn’t want her kids to be the same. I now run an adult swim school where 90% of swimmers are Black women & I am director of a CIC that runs free lessons in W. London for kids & women. A few observations:

@hector_pardoe @Aquatics_GB Thanks for being part of it Hector!

Very proud and honored to have been part of the @Aquatics_GB Sustainability panel yesterday. 🇬🇧 As a prominent figure in British open water swimming, I feel a strong obligation to utilize my platform, profile, and swimming prowess to raise awareness about the escalating water quality issues in the UK. My journey in open water began at the age of 12 in my local mere, leading to remarkable experiences and the privilege of representing my country on the international stage. It deeply concerns me to think that children of the same age as when I started might miss out on the joys of open water swimming due to the contamination of our waters. Thanks @JoshRudd @DrewBSport for the work you’ve put into this project.

Great afternoon representing @britishswimming for the @BASIS_org #BasisAwards23 at @Wimbledon. Great to see so many organisations driving sport to be more sustainable and play their part in recognising their climate impact 🌿🌊

Great conversation from @ed_accura on barriers to prevent black people from swimming. Fascinating discussion and a must listen to understand the challenges faced. Lets never forget, swimming is a life skill and a sport!
