Nottinghamshire ASA

Nottinghamshire ASA will be holding an SGM on Saturday 18th July at Harvey Hadden starting at 10 am.

Reason for the SGM: Management Board Appointments required for the following roles:

• General Secretary
• Welfare Officer
• Development Secretary
• Swimming Secretary
• Communications Officer
• Volunteer Coordinator
• Elected Representative (Club Representative)

At present the board is not quorate and is unable to operate so it is essential for these roles to be filled for County activity to be maintained.

Should any member wish to be nominated for any role advanced nominations should be sent to: to county.chairperson@notts-swimming.co.uk with position, nominee, proposer and seconder.

The County will also accept nominations from the floor with the correct support.

Only the above matter can be heard at the SGM as per the Counties constitution.

As defined by the Counties constitution the Council is made up of the following:

8.1. The members of the Council shall be;
8.1.1. Each club affiliated to the Notts ASA who shall be entitled to send three delegates, (Please note any delegates must hold Swim England membership of the club)
8.1.2. The President and President elect,
8.1.3. The Past Presidents of the Notts ASA who are still in membership of an affiliated club,
8.1.4. The Life Members of the Notts ASA.
8.2. A Council meeting shall be quorate when at least twenty delegates are present who represent more than a third of the clubs entitled to attend.

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.
