LEN Learn to Swim Conference 2023 will take place in Jūrmala, Latvia between 11-12 November 2023.
The LEN Learn to Swim Conference, the first of its kind, will include the launch of the LEN Learn to Swim Framework and is aimed at member federations, academics, swim teaching and other aquatic professionals who want to learn from each other. LEN’s goal is to raise awareness of the issue, and to increase the number of Europeans able to swim safely and to prevent drownings.
As part of the strategy, a “Learn to Swim Conference” will bring together aquatics stakeholders including athletes, coaches, administrators and industry professionals as well as political, health and education specialists to discuss best practice to develop engaging and practical solutions to the issues surrounding learn to swim and drowning prevention policies and projects, at both national and continental level.
The conference was one of the recommendations following a comprehensive survey of LEN’s 52 federations in September 2022. 51 of these federations stated that Learn to Swim programmes are a key priority.
Registration to the LEN Learn to Swim Conference opens soon and full details about the format, programme and speakers will be circulated shortly.
