SwimMark Accreditation

​

Brackley Swimming Club is proud to be SwimMark accredited, a quality mark awarded by Swim England. This accreditation recognises high standards in club governance, sustainability, and effectiveness.

​

Achieving SwimMark has helped us:

 

- Strengthen our club structure

- Improve our day-to-day management

- Build closer connections with other Swim England clubs

​

SwimMark also promotes a positive, safe, and supportive environment for swimmers. Accreditation is reviewed every two years, which helps ensure we continue to grow, evolve, and deliver the best possible experience for our members.
