What a fantastic way to wrap up the morning session! ๐
Our panel on Best Practice DEI Models delved into the importance of fostering gender equity on boards, increasing women in coaching, advancing para-ability inclusion and behavioural impacts on DEI. The discussion not only addressed key challenges but also spotlighted the growing opportunities DEI offers for the future success of clubs, national governing bodies, and federations.

Iโm mixed & swam all my life as my Black mother couldnโt and didnโt want her kids to be the same. I now run an adult swim school where 90% of swimmers are Black women & I am director of a CIC that runs free lessons in W. London for kids & women. A few observations:

Great afternoon representing @britishswimming for the @BASIS_org #BasisAwards23 at
@Wimbledon. Great to see so many organisations driving sport to be more sustainable and play their part in recognising their climate impact ๐ฟ๐ โ at London, England
Great conversation from @ed_accura on barriers to prevent black people from swimming. Fascinating discussion and a must listen to understand the challenges faced. Lets never forget, swimming is a life skill and a sport!
These open and transparent conversations are bound to provoke a few upsets, for instance the comments on funding bids (see clip).
Itโs only by having these honest discussions can we together even begin to make a change.

.@LewisPugh โSwimming is more than just a sport for me. Itโs a way of telling a powerful story about what is happening to our planet. Those of us who use oceans and rivers surely have a duty to be their guardians. If we donโt, who will?โ #openwater
