🏊 Providing equal access to swimming is a team sport and we couldn't ask for better teammates! 🏊 We were thrilled to launch Wave Makers alongside our partners Julie Menin, Shekar Krishnan, and the Gray Foundation last week at @commonpointqueens! This program will provide 2,600 second graders with the critical, life-saving skill of swimming across New York City's five boroughs.
The numbers aren't adding up for many swimming pools at the moment. The number of people coming through the door continues to drop, prices continue to rise, and many operators are caught between a rock and a hard place. Private swimming classes are not something that’s open and accessible to everybody, but at a time when the industry is struggling badly, doesn’t it make sense to diversify where we can? By using just a small portion of the pool for private classes, run by trained individuals working for themselves, operators can unlock a new, highly profitable income stream that can be used elsewhere.

I love this for at least FOUR reasons. First, [once again], Sports as a Crucible for Life. ↳ Bryan Kryder’s story is another example of how sport ties back into work and life. Growth comes from being outside of your comfort zone. Kudos to Bryan for being brave and having a growth mindset. Let’s check out what Bryan said: ↳ “the older we get, we tend to fall into patterns of just playing it safe and doing the things that we know” ↳ “trying something new” ↳ “a new challenge” ↳ “test myself” ↳ “[overcoming] fear” ↳ “learning and taking instruction” ↳ “confidence” ↳ “progress” ↳ “life skill” ↳ “fitness” ↳ “taking a first step” ↳ “opening up your world” ↳ “limitless” Powerful stuff! Second, Connections and Relationship. ↳ Bryan’s story is moving to me, because its powerful, but also because I feel connected to it. It was reposted by my friend and former teammate Chris Plumb. Chris is the CEO and Head Coach at Carmel Swim Club. Carmel Swim Academy -- which offers “learn to swim” programs like the one Bryan is involved in – sits under Carmel Swim Club. Carmel Swim Academy is another amazing thing that my friend and former teammate is doing with his organizations in the sport of swimming and for the State of Indiana. Thank You and Keep Going! Third, Community. ↳ Chris and his team at the Carmel Swim Academy are doing their part to help their community by providing critical “learn to swim” programming. As Bryan said, this is a life skill. Four, Enriching Content. ↳ I can’t wait to follow the SWIM feature, presented by INNOVATIVE and the Indiana Sports Corp. This is exactly the type of content that brings me back to LinkedIn. Refreshing. Motivating. Inspiring.
In the first episode of SWIM presented by INNOVATIVE, we learn how Bryan Kryder overcame his fear of water to take his very first swim lesson. Despite a frightening canoe accident as a child, Bryan’s work on the Indiana Sports Corp's local organizing committee for the upcoming USA Swimming Olympic Trials has inspired him to learn this life saving skill through the Swim IN Safety program presented by Eli Lilly & Co! Check back each Wednesday leading up to the #SwimTrials24 for a new episode of SWIM, featuring unique stories from Hoosiers about the importance of swimming.
The Olympic Games have recently concluded, and we witnessed athletes competing in various aquatic sports, including swimming, diving, and artistic swimming. We are excited to announce that a new article focusing on aquatic sports has been published on our platform, Commentary on Sport Associations Sportverbandskommentar by Weblaw. In this contribution, the authors Marc Cavaliero and Carol Etter, explore the organizational structures of World Aquatics and the Swiss Swimming Federation - Swiss Aquatics. The article also addresses key legal issues related to World Aquatics’ integrity and anti-doping regulations. #openaccess #sportslaw

Be water aware. Water safety, including around resoivoirs, rivers, canals needs far greater promotion. Prevention first. For where this fails, all water ways need easily accessible water aides. #enjoysummersafely #wateraware
#WATCH | Swimming outdoors may seem like the perfect way to beat the heat, but not all nature spots are safe. 🎥 Maxine shares her heartbreaking story of losing her 15-year-old son, Reuben, who tragically drowned in a reservoir. She is now advocating for parents and schools to inform young people about the dangers of swimming in open water. Stay safe this summer by swimming only in known safe places. #EnjoySummerSafely #WorldDrowningPreventionDay
Our latest report card and statements of intent for the next 6-months.
In 2021, Swimming Australia released its 2022-2032 (Our Decade of Opportunity) Strategic Plan. Swimming Victoria (SV) supports the direction Swimming Australia is taking to ‘inspire Australia to swim’ as we power towards the 2032 home Olympic and Paralympic Games. ‘Swimming 2028 - Inspiring Victoria to Swim’, reflects this alignment and outlines Swimming Victoria’s Strategic Plan for 2021 – 2028. This Strategic Plan was developed after a time of unprecedented change which started with the 2020 Victorian bushfires, followed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was updated in 2023, at a different stage of pandemic recovery, while Victoria was in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, experiencing a weakened economy and floods were challenging the sustainability of various aspects of the aquatic industry. View the updated plan here: https://bit.ly/4aJz8M5 We are pleased to release the Swimming Victoria – Inspiring Victoria to Swim Strategy Progress Report May 2024, which charts our progress over the past six months.

Something we probably aren’t good at is cheering ourselves. I reckon we have earned one Swimming Victoria The development of the Hawk-Eye swimming officiating technology is profound for the sport and has scaled very quickly to the Paris Olympic Games. It’s something we are understandably proud of; it’s making the sport fairer and the experience for participants better, has catalysed other product development (watch this space…) and has a strong commercial upside. All from the 14 person team at Swimming Victoria and the worlds best sports tech company in this area Hawk-Eye Innovations Ltd . It’s a unique partnership that brings together texh capability and connection to the sport at a granular level. Why did we start this? Because no-one could satisfactorily explain how humans walking beside a pool can be expected to judge what’s happening in all lanes, above and below the water, simultaneously and in real time. Nor could we accept that in this age we needed 20 volunteer parents to get their feet wet pressing a red timing button at the end of each lane. And from there it was born and has evolved to all facets of officiating and onwards to vision aggregation and distribution and analytics (and for that we are grateful to be working with the computer science and AI team RMIT University.) Deborah Wyatt Enabled by a highly capable and rigorous SV Board, the motivated and smart SV team, the right, outrageously capable (best in the world) partner(s) and a trusted, generous and brilliant collaborator in Ben Ramsden. Innovation that solves real world puzzles and makes things better is also thoroughly enjoyable. You don’t need to be a big or an apex sporting body to make a difference. That’s probably the most liberating lesson from it all. Onwards we go. Go the Vics.

Swimming Victoria in conjunction with Hawk-Eye Innovations Ltd and Olly Timing are exhibiting at the American Swimming Coaches Association World Clinic in Orlando, Florida. We are really proud to showcase Hawk-Eye swimming technology, developed with Swimming Victoria and used by World Aquatics at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. An example of innovation that Swimming Victoria are proudly leading in officiating and performance analytics.
How they built the Paris Olympics swimming pools in 36 days Italy’s Myrtha Pools has installed two of its modular, stainless steel swimming pools for the Paris Olympics in just 36 days. The 50×25-metre pools went up at La Defense Arena for all the swimming and water polo events, to be followed by the Para swimming races during the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
