State of Swimming + Sets Sail Today Bound For The Paris 2024 Olympic Games
Today, State of Swimming + sets sail for Paris 2024. Our free-to-view service will continue here at our parent site, while SOS+ is where readers can dive deeper into the work of our Editor, Craig Lord, and guests.
SOS+ launches July 4 ahead of the pre-Paris SOS form guide to the swimming at the Games and then analysis of all finals at the Paris La Defence Pool from July 27. Those features will be part of our new Newsletter and subscription service alongside two other related topics of focus this season – The China Diaries and our Women‘s section in support of Fair Play and Equity for female athletes.
What’s It All About?
Our opening SOS+ content, much of it freely available here at our parent site there as a simple reminder of what we do ahead of what we’re about to do in Olympic season, which will pave the way for new ventures beyond Paris 2024.
The launch date is no coincidence. We are the most independent home of swimming coverage anywhere in the world. We can state that for two simple reasons.
- governance response to our conscience-of-swimming coverage and campaigning down the years has meant that we have no advertisers, no partners, no sponsors nor do we have any commercial connections with any swimming organisations or their affiliates (thank you to all those who made that possible
- and, where we do have backers, they hear, we listen and, should they wish, they choose to support our work, openly or otherwise, without expectation of influencing the jury.
