A media guide is a swimming-related press kit, distributed as a book or binder, and published before the start of major events. Read on to learn how to access the guides on-line.

British Swimming Media Guides feature information relating to a team's players, history, statistical records and other similar items. They are usually distributed to sports journalists to assist in their coverage of an event, but can be a great source of information for anyone interested in the world of swimming.
