Andy Salmon has resigned from his position as CEO at Swim England

Andy joined the organisation in February 2024 as the Listening Report was published. He led the process to establish a community-informed strategy that served to respond to the report and establish new ways of working, underpinned by a new culture.

The implementation of this strategy saw a new Senior Leadership Team, a financial plan, a new organisational structure and improved stakeholder relationships.

Swim England Chair Richard Hookway said, “We would like to thank Andy for his sterling efforts over the past two years. He, alongside the Senior Leadership Team, has led the beginning of the next chapter for Swim England. He leaves the organisation in a strong position to continue its transformation with lots more work to be done to achieve our goals.”

Andy Salmon also commented, “I’d like to thank the very many colleagues and stakeholders who welcomed me into the unfamiliar aquatic environment and gave me support and encouragement as we embarked on the transformation journey. It’s not been an easy decision but one that feels right for me.”

Andy’s last working day was 30 June however he remains committed to supporting the organisation in the short term with transition arrangements.

An Interim Chief Executive will shortly be appointed, and the Board will shortly begin the recruitment process for a permanent Chief Executive Officer.
