About Us

Our Purpose and Vision

As the recognised national governing body for swimming, artistic swimming, diving and water polo in England, Swim England helps people learn how to swim, enjoy the water safely, and compete in all our sports.

Our Vision : Great experiences in water. For all. For Life.

Our Mission : To lead and serve an aquatics community to enable safe, enjoyable and successful experiences.

It is one of the nation’s most popular recreational activities enjoyed by millions of people in England.

Swim England, through aquatics, is uniquely placed to tackle inequalities and support health and wellbeing given the activities’ accessibility to people of all ages and abilities. On top of this, aquatics is made up of four amazing Olympic and Paralympic sports with our network of clubs and talent pathways supporting people to realise their full potential in the water.

In March of 2024, we published in full the findings of an independent listening research report commissioned as part of our pledge to create a better future for everyone involved in aquatic sports. We are committed to only recruiting individuals who are as passionate as we are about being on this journey.

About The Role

Are you passionate about commercial growth, audience-driven marketing, and making a real impact through strategic campaigns?

We are Swim England, the national governing body for swimming, para swimming, diving, water polo and artistic swimming. We are on a mission to make aquatic activity accessible for all - from toddlers learning to float, to athletes chasing gold, to wild swimmers fighting for clean water.

We're looking for a commercially driven and strategically minded Marketing Manager to be a part of this journey - aligning our marketing efforts directly with revenue and business objectives.

You’ll be joining us at a pivotal time for growth, where your marketing expertise can truly support the future of Swim England’s commercial success. You’ll have the freedom to innovate, the support to deliver, and the platform to make a measurable impact across the sector.

You will be responsible for the proactive development and execution of innovative, insight-led marketing strategies that support the promotion of our growing portfolio of products and services, from our industry leading qualifications to our learn to swim programme and awards.

Working closely with the commercial team and wider B2B division, your efforts will directly contribute to awareness, lead generation, sales enablement, and long-term customer value.

Develop and deliver B2B marketing strategies aligned with Swim England’s commercial goals and market needs.
Lead impactful, multi-channel marketing campaigns that drive brand awareness, engagement, sales and lead generation.
