Exciting changes for the Institute of Swimming

Last summer we asked our customers and members how we could evolve to better support and develop the aquatics workforce.

The feedback gave us a clear direction and after an exhilarating period of creativity, imagination and focus, we’re thrilled with the result. Not only do we have a refreshed brand and identity, we are now launching a new booking website.

At the Institute of Swimming, we have a responsibility to the sport. It’s not just about training; it’s about a building and developing a passionate workforce that helps more people love swimming.

We feel a deep sense of purpose and drive to help swimming teachers and coaches reach their full potential and pass on their passion onto those around them.

Qualities our customers and members value

We have grounded our new branding in the qualities our customers and members value most.

Quality, as excellence courses, resources and tutors lead to outstanding swimming teachers and aquatic professionals. Passion, we are here because we love the sport and want to pass that on to the teachers and coaches we support.

These themes have been our guiding principles as the new branding has taken shape.

We found our drive for professionalism and innovation were widely respected and we want to make sure we continue to bring this forward in our branding.
