SwimSwam

SwimSwam news is a swimming news organization covering competitive swimming along with diving, water polo and synchronized swimming. SwimSwam launched as a website in March 2012 and quickly became the most-read swimming website in the world. SwimSwam was named one of NBC Sport's 100 must-follow social media handles for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Swimming World Magazine

Swimming World is a US-based monthly swimming magazine that was first published in a magazine format as Junior Swimmer in 1960. It concurrently runs online websites Swimming World Magazine and Swimming World News. It has an extensive records of competitions ranging from junior to masters level swimming. It also provides advice on health related and technique issues for people with an interest in swimming.

College swimming

You don't have to be in college to enjoy this site! CollegeSwimming covers all of the college swimming news you need to be up-to-date on the latest and greatest swimming achievement. CollegeSwimming is different from the other sites here because it's much more oriented towards sports. You wouldn't follow CollegeSwimming to learn about new water safety technology; instead, you'd log in to quickly get an update on the most recent team rankings and meets.

USA Swimming

If you you're beginner or an Olympic champion, you'll find resources through the USA Swimming site. USA is the National Governing Body for US swimming, meaning you'll join a community of like-minded swimmers who enjoy the culture and are interested in the swimming world, more in particularly in the US. Have in mind that even though USA Swimming has a slew of free resources and information, there is a part of the organization that requires membership free to join. Either way, you'll reap the benefits, it's just a matter of what you intend to gain from the site.

GoSwim

Co-founded by USA Olympian Glenn Mills, GoSwim's goal is to enable people to swim better and faster. What makes GoSwim different is it's a video-based company. All of the site's instructions are visual, so you can easily understand the movements and techniques needed to improve your swimming. If you know anything about Glenn Mills and her accomplishment, you's understand the impact of her leadership in this site.
