Nottinghamshire ASA

Swim England have temporarily suspended the updated guidance on diving at competitions while they consult with clubs and organisations across the UK.

While this consulation is taking place, we have been advised to return to the previous guidance that was allowing swimmers who hold a competitive start award to dive into races in water with a minimum depth of 09.m.

There is a survey monkey form set up to collate the views of clubs and organisations across the UK.

Nottinghamshire ASA have already completed this form on behalf of the Nottinghamshire ASA run competitions but as clubs we would encourage you to complete the form to let Swim England hear your opinions.

Please click here to complete the survey. This survey will close on 5th June 2022.

Unfortunatley we have to bring you the sad news of the passing of Brian Dent from Sherwood CSC.

Brian was a long standing member of Sherwood CSC who taught a vast number of its members how to swim.

Our thoughts are with Brian’s family.

Please see the new guidelines for diving in to pools during a competition.
We are no longer allowed to dive into water less than 1.35m in competitions.
We are currently getting clarification as to how this affects our low level competitions especially when it comes to relays in pools that are less then 1.35m deep at the turn end.
