Nottinghamshire ASA

Nottinghamshire ASA have been getting a lot of questions regarding upcoming events, especially the County Relay gala.

Taking the governments advice and also that of the World Health Organisation and Swim England, we are currently going ahead with ALL events with the advice to ensure that all swimmers shower before entering the pools and after the event. Everyone should continue to wash hands thoroughly.

We can all understand concerns at this time and Nottinghamshire ASA are keeping a close eye on all of the advice given to us. If you do feel unwell or have any concerns please do not attend the competitions.

If we get any further updates or have to cancel any events due to further advice we will post more news here on the website, and also email the key club contacts that we have.
