The company prides itself on independent journalism and a variety of swimming coverage. View the full statement below.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"m_183393842329796299title\">Today, <em>SwimVortex<\/em> suspends its coverage of swimming<\/h2>\n<p>To paraphrase Khalil Gibran, if you love something, let it go: if you find your way back to each other, you belong; if not it was not meant to be.<\/p>\n<p>Many are the reasons why our work is no longer sustainable but in short our decision comes down to this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the resources required for us to achieve our goals and deliver truly independent journalism, analysis and statistical services in swimming are simply not available<\/li>\n<li>swimming and the priorities of a failing leadership that is not being held to account by key stakeholders, is sinking down the ranks of sports covered by the mainstream media and professional journalists far and wide. Swimming is among the sports being dropped as digital-era budget cuts and belt-tightening gather pace in the press; this, too, has an impact on the way we fund our work and justify our presence and time as journalists<\/li>\n<li>swimming has become ever more a sport covered remotely; that&#8217;s no fun, nor does it lend itself to telling the stories that can only be told by being there, watching, listening, hearing, interacting, getting to know the swimmers and their coaches and sometimes their parents and families, too &#8211; and then relating human stories stacked with challenge, struggle, humour, achievement and setback. That&#8217;s how swimming used to be covered. It no longer is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>SwimVortex<\/em> bows out just as suddenly as it arrived five years ago almost to the day. We say farewell with a heartfelt thanks to those who have supported our work through advertising, partnership and subscription; we appreciate the value you placed in our work.<\/p>\n<p>On a personal note, the editor would like to thank journalists <strong>Liz Byrnes<\/strong>, <strong>John Lohn<\/strong>, <strong>Sabrina Knoll<\/strong> and <strong>Karin Helmstaedt<\/strong>, as well as photographer <strong>Patrick B. Kraemer<\/strong> for knowing their stuff; for being excellent, pressure on, pressure off; for being the first in the building and the last to leave; for turning around quality copy and images faster than any other swim website in the short history of the digital world has ever got close to. And on that note, thanks, too, to the unsung heroes of the backroom: the digital team that has underpinned our work and provided a fine platform.<\/p>\n<p>It was a privilege to work with all of you.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks is extended, too, to the late <strong>Nick Thierry<\/strong>, to whom this website was dedicated, and to his legacy: backed by a unique record of world swimming that we have kept alive and expanded into the most comprehensive historical record of the sport, <em>SwimVortex<\/em> has provided coverage that we feel proud of.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, any reader wishing to claim a refund for the remaining months of their subscription may do so (for instruction on how to do that, please follow this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimvortex.com\/\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">link<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Wishing you all a fine season ahead and many more to come.<\/p>\n<p><em>Craig Lord and The SwimVortex Team<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Thank You, From <em>Swimming World<\/em><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201cOn behalf of the International Swimming Hall Of Fame (ISHOF), <em>Swimming World<\/em> and its staff, we want to express our sincere appreciation for all the hard work and expertise that <em>SwimVortex<\/em> brought to the sport.
