Andy Salmon resigns as CEO of Swim England

Andy Salmon has stepped down from his role as CEO of Swim England with immediate effect.

Swim England Chair Richard Hookway said, “We would like to thank Andy for his sterling efforts over the past two years. He, alongside the Senior Leadership Team, has led the beginning of the next chapter for Swim England. He leaves the organisation in a strong position to continue its transformation with lots more work to be done to achieve our goals.”

Salmon joined the organisation in 2024 as the Listening Report was published. The report detailed shortcomings in the culture within aquatics – including “widespread bullying across the sport”. He led the process to establish a community-informed strategy that served to respond to the report and establish new ways of working, underpinned by a new culture.
