Swim England partners with Neurodiverse Sport

Swim England has signed a strategic partnership with Neurodiverse Sport (NdS), which is designed to strengthen neuro‑inclusive practice across aquatics.

Through a two‑year, test‑and‑learn programme, Swim England and NdS will explore and pilot context‑specific approaches to neuro‑inclusion within aquatic settings. Informed by both lived experience and research, the partnership builds on the NdS and Sport England Blueprint to Neuro‑Inclusion to deepen understanding of what works, for whom and why, across the participation and sport system.

The work recognises that neuro‑inclusive practice must respond to people, places and experiences, with approaches shaped by practitioner insight and the unique sensory, social and environmental contexts of aquatics.
