PLAN
Our Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan
Our ‘DIAP’ lays out the actions we are taking to address inequalities within aquatics.
Our 2022/23 plan is viewable here with our long-term plan currently being developed to align with our new 10-year strategy ‘Access Aquatics’. Our long-term plan will be published in January 2024.

Our Equality Policy was initially produced to prevent and address any unlawful discrimination or other unfair treatment which may prevent individuals from participating fully in aquatics. To this extent, this policy remains a cornerstone of what we do.
Our accompanying anti-racism statement can be viewed here.
