About SwimShare

Swimming teachers sharing what works. SwimShare is a free community resource for swimming teachers to discover, share and improve practical teaching ideas.

Why SwimShare?

Swimming teachers develop a huge amount of practical knowledge – a new way to explain a skill, a game that makes something click, a progression that helps a nervous swimmer. SwimShare helps teachers share it: make good swimming teaching ideas easier to find, easier to share and easier to improve.

Built around real teaching

Search activities by stage, skill, equipment or lesson position, or start with the teaching problem you’re trying to solve. Community feedback shares what actually worked in real lessons.

Free to use. Free to join.

Anyone can browse the resource bank. A free account lets teachers save favourites, build lessons, rate activities, give Kudos, share feedback and contribute ideas.

Independent community

SwimShare is an independent community resource. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official resource of Swim England or the Amateur Swimming Association.

Safety comes first

Teachers remain responsible for choosing activities appropriate to their swimmers, the water depth, the pool environment, group size, supervision, facility procedures and their own qualifications.
