Swim England to exhibit at Elevate 2026, building on ambitions to shape the future of aquatics

Swim England has confirmed it will be exhibiting at Elevate 2026, the UK’s leading health, fitness and physical activity event, where more than 6,000 decision makers come together to explore collaboration, solution and the latest innovations. 

As part of its presence at the event, Swim England will collectively sponsor the Active Aquatics theatre alongside the STA and RLSS, to deliver a full programme of sessions.  

Swim England’s programme will focus on delivering five insight-led sessions, across the two-day event which have been designed to share practical insights, highlight innovations and encourage a collective drive towards a more inclusive and sustainable environment in and around the pool. 

Building on the thought-provoking conversations that took place at its landmark One Swim England Summit back in March, Swim England is continuing its ambitions of encouraging everyone to be a part of shaping the future of aquatics.  

With sessions focused on facilities, health and wellbeing, workforce sustainability and tackling the slowing Learn to Swim participation, Elevate provides a valuable platform to engage directly with operators, partners and stakeholders, supporting the collaboration and shared thinking around how the sector can continue to evolve and deliver great experiences in water.  

Rebecca Cox, Business Engagement Director at Swim England and Managing Director at the Institute of Swimming, discussed Swim England’s exhibition at Elevate 2026, saying: “Elevate provides an invaluable opportunity for us to come together with our partners, stakeholders and operators from across the sector to share insight, spark new ideas and strengthen collaboration. We see it as a really valuable opportunity for us to continue the important conversations that will help us shape the future of aquatics, and we’re really looking forward to connecting with delegates to continue those discussions and help shape positive change across our industry.” 

The five sessions set to take place across the two-day event include:  

• The Facilities Summit 

• Community pools as extensions of healthcare pathways 

• The Aquatics Workforce: Pathways, Governance and Growth 

• Turning the Tide on Learn to Swim Participation 

Throughout the event, taking place between 17-18 June 2026 at the ExCel London, Swim England will also be exhibiting, providing an opportunity to continue conversations beyond the stage. The team will be on hand to meet with delegates to discuss how it can help address and solve challenges, share insight, and discuss how collaborative working can help shape us create great experiences in water. For all. For life.
