Scottish Swimming Sponsorship Opportunities About us As the national governing body for swimming in Scotland, Scottish Swimming represents our clubs, swim schools, aquatic disciplines and thousands of talented and committed volunteers across the entire swimmer pathway from development and participation through to performance. Our vision is to ensure that everyone in Scotland can swim. Swimming is the sport for all – the sport for life. Our strategy is to take advantage of the natural inclusiveness of our sport, developing quality initiatives that help people enjoy swimming to their full potential no matter which aquatic activity they pursue. Our key areas of business are as follows: •

Development & Participation – to improve the delivery of swimming in Scotland through the development of learn to swim, school swimming, clubs, participation programmes, volunteers, teachers and coaches and community partnerships

Performance – to improve the performance results of Scottish swimmers through better coaching and education, supported by our continuously evolving performance programme

Services – to lead a cutting edge organisation that supports and promotes our participation, development and performance initiatives, including the attraction of resources to invest in our sport

While our organisation was originally founded by our members, it has grown significantly over the past few years. With new products, services and target groups emerging as well as commercial opportunities for sponsors and income generation streams, we have come a long way and would like to take you on the journey ahead of us to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, a unique opportunity for our sport and partners alike. Scottish Swimming currently has a membership in excess of 20.000 people, with over 160 clubs affiliated to us. Our products and services reach a far wider audience through our relationship with all 32 local authorities. Currently 18 local authorities operate our learn to swim programme, reaching over 40,000 children across Scotland through our awards and certificates. Our new school swimming programme Triple S – Scotland Safe Swimmer has benefitted over 10,000 children in a 3 month period. Just Add Water our participation programme has engaged over 10,000 adults in water based fitness activities such as aqua zumba and swimfit and has provided 2000 pre-school children living in some of the disadvantaged areas of Glasgow the opportunity to learn to swim. We embrace new communication channels like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Soundcloud, YouTube and Flickr, reaching far wider than our membership while positioning us on the top of sports governing bodies in use of social media.

While we are good at what we are doing currently, being recognised as the leading sports governing body in Scotland, we would like to get better. We have a lot of ideas on how your support could improve our current programmes or help us to establish new initiatives.
