Swim England National Awards 2018
The first wave of nominations for the Swim England National Awards 2018 are now open!
The Swim England National Awards are a great opportunity to celebrate all the individual achievements and team successes of the past year. They recognise all those involved in our sports, from members and volunteers to partners, teachers and athletes.
This year’s awards ceremony will take place on 10 November in The Great Hall at the University of Birmingham. The 16 award categories have been modified and updated for this year, ranging from the Learn to Swim Rising Star Award to Facility Operator of the Year.
So if you know someone who deserves to be recognised for their contribution to an aquatic sport or for inspiring the next generation, then please do put them forward. Facility operators are also invited to submit nominations for themselves.
