Welcome to GBswimstars...

Started in 2009 by the award-winning photographer Simon Wright, the GBswimstars project is now one of the largest online collections of aquatic sports images.

As a keen Masters swimmer and specialist sports photographer Simon's aim is to capture powerful, memorable photographs that will help promote British swimming, diving, synchronised swimming and water polo in the run up to the London 2012 Olympics.

He has been
visiting clubs across the country and photographing the swim stars of today and future stars of London 2012 and beyond; telling a photographic story of their journey to the Olympic games.

Clubs use the GBswimstars photographs to promote their own swimming, diving or water polo stars - by putting the photos on their Website and sending them to the local/national press.  They also sell the photos to help with fundraising and some of the photos are used in posters to help inspire and motivate the children and athletes.

Supported by British Swimming GBswimstars is a voluntary project promoting  British aquatic sports and generally the photography and poster design work are provided free of charge.

Please contact us if you would like your club to be included in the project, or view the galleries to see the GBswimstars photographs and posters.
