Having further reviewed the guidance, it is Swim England’s interpretation that club activity falls into the ‘public gathering’ category and therefore it is strongly advising clubs to consider cancelling or postponing activity – including events – until the end of May.

I know how disappointing this will be for our swimmers, but we must follow the guidance received from Swim England.
