The Notts ASA Stage Gala Recorders sheets and Team Sheets have been updated to highlight if you are swimming a swimmer too many times. Please note that this has been implemented quickly and still highlights the upper age group swimmers when they are actually allowed to do more individual events. For now, please ignore this flag for the upper age group, and a new sheet will be released over the summer that fixes this.

Following on from the World Aquatics Rules Update 2026, please find the new DQ form that has been released here for use at all levels of meets going forwards. Old DQ forms can still be used, as long as the reference sheet on the back is ignored and the new one is ued.

Nottinghamshire ASA Board would like to sincerely apologise in the delay in organising this years Summer Gala.

Preparations are in place now for this years event and entry information is now live on championships pages here.

For all Officials

There is a World Aquatics Rule update that has been published, and the majority of the changes in these (with tweaks) will be coming into Swim England Governed competitions, but not quite yet!

Thanks to the referees that attended the National call tonight, and to all other officials there will be an update coming out soon.

A note to all officials, that the updated rules will come into force for Level 1 meets ONLY from 27^th March 2026

For all other level meets (which will be the majority of competitions we are involved with) will not come into force until 11^th May 2026

(Swim Wales will use the new rules from the 2^nd April 2026, Scottish Swimming are yet to publish dates. Any international meets are to use the new rules from now).

There will be a new DQ form published but this should not be used until after the implementation dates listed above.

Well that’s a wrap on the 2026 County Championships. We want to thank everyone for their help and support throughout the Championships and hope that everyone has achieved something special.

Tomorrow morning we dive into the famous Nottinghamshire ASA County Relay Championships, where chaos will be inevitable.
