Dan Jervis on Pride Month and his Wales and GB Pride

by British Swimming

British Swimming

June 4, 2023 | 1 minute, 44 seconds read

Olympic finalist and Commonwealth medallist Dan Jervis discusses acceptance and support in the swimming community, what he has been targeting for a busy summer in the pool - and how he hopes his experience can have even just a small impact on young swimmers and swimming fans of the future.

When reflecting on coming out to a few close members of the tight-knit Swansea University training group at the Swim Wales High-Performance Centre, Dan points to one person whose reaction - or lack of - has typified the positive difference he hoped it would make in and out of the pool.

"Someone who has been phenomenal is my coach Adam Baker. Adam has coached me for nearly 11 years now, and while I know this sounds cheesy, in the swimming world I sort of look at him as a bit of a parental figure, because I see him so much more than I see my own family,” he says.

"When I told him, he was just like, 'and...'. That's exactly the reaction you want. That's the reaction that you would hope everyone to give. From a swimmer-coach relationship, it has definitely made it even better, because he now knows literally everything about me. Sometimes when you are guarding something that is so big to you, and you are afraid to share something, you lash out at different things. Even if it's nothing to do with that, the internalized pressure that you put on yourself can definitely be projected in different ways."

About British Swimming

British Swimming is the national governing body for Swimming, Diving, Synchronised Swimming, Water Polo and Open Water in Great Britain.  It is responsible internationally for the high performance representation of the sport. British Swimming seeks to enable its athletes to achieve gold medal success at the Olympics, Paralympics, World Championships and Commonwealth Games.

TeamUnify Talks with Swimming Leaders in London and Dublin

TeamUnify hosted workshops and social events in London, UK, and Dublin, Ireland, to connect directly with the swimming communities to discuss best practices, build relationships, and grow youth participation in swimming.

The TeamUnify staff was honored to meet with swim club administrators and coaches who traveled from near and far to network with like-minded teams and interact with fellow swim club experts. A special shoutout to all of you who took the time to participate in our sessions.

bryon and admin

One of the hottest topics at the events was automated billing and payment processing available to swim clubs through TeamUnify. There are so many benefits for clubs who choose to use TeamUnify’s payment processing system, including saving time and money, so administrators considered it a no-brainer for their swim clubs to use these tools. Club administrators saw firsthand how automated payment collection and processing through TeamUnify can improve how they run their swim clubs.

Another popular topic of discussion was TeamUnify’s Coaching Tools. Swim coaches were interested to hear about how easy it is to set up practices, write workouts, and upload videos. As a bonus, our staff showed them that these tools could be used directly from their phones with the free mobile app. Many swim coaches are constantly on-the-go, so the attendees were very interested in learning how they could set up their swim clubs right from their phones.

Learn more about the power of Coaching Tools on TeamUnify

Along with the discussions about TeamUnify’s benefits and how swim clubs worldwide can benefit from industry-leading swim club management software, the attendees were very engaged, sharing tips and tricks to grow their swimming clubs. It was a valuable networking opportunity for our staff, administrators, and coaches to develop relationships in the local swimming community.

Kylie and admin on phone

The TeamUnify staff also wanted thank our attendees for joining the event, so they hosted a raffle at the end of each event. Congratulations to Giuseppe Coratti from the Frosinone Swim Team in Frosinone, Italy, and Ali Al-Khudairy from the Teddington Swimming Club in London, UK. They each took home an Apple iPad courtesy of TeamUnify.

The TeamUnify family looks forward to subsequent events to continue building relationships with swimming communities. Keep an ear out for future events so that you can sign up to participate in the next one.
