New research reveals one in three children leave primary school unable to swim
Posted on 17 May 2012 at 09:24 by Chris Lambert
Learning to swim at an early age can ultimately go on to save a child's life and with drowning being the third most common cause of accidental death in children, it's concerning to learn that one in three children are now leaving school unable to swim.
Website Problem - Age Group Championships
Posted on 08 May 2012 at 14:39 by Mike Lambert (0 user comment)
Apologies for the problem with our website yesterday. Our hosting company suspended the site because of excess usage during the youth championships. They were supposed to give us 48 hours notice, but failed to do so.
The site was down for around 6 hours, during which it was not possible to submit entries for the age group championships. Because of that, the closing date for entries has been extended by 24 hours. It is now 23:59, today, May 8th 2012.
Closing Date for 2012 Swimming Championships
Posted on 26 Mar 2012 at 18:33 by Mike Lambert (0 user comment)
Changes to conditions to allow late entries have been approved:
Late entries will be considered for individual events providing:
- There is space available
- The entry time must be equal to or faster than the automatic qualifying time for the event
- A supplement of 100% of the normal entry fee, per event, is paid
Late entries for team events will not be considered.
If you are submitting entries, you must get the bulk of your entries in by the closing date. Failure to do so would mean that ALL your entries would incur the surcharge!
There is no absolute deadline for submission of request for late entries, but bear in mind that
- Late entries will not appear in the printed programme if received after 18th April (Youth), 15th May (Age Groups)
- Late entries will accepted on a first come, first served basis

An Integrated Approach to Swimming
The ASA South East Region Swimming Management Group will have a broad remit, covering all aspects of competitive and leisure swimming and integrating Disability and Open Water Swimming into a single “Whole Sport” strategy, incorporating
- Learn to swim programmes and school club links
- Competition
- Encouragement of excellence through special camps for Junior and Youth Potential Squads and Coach education
- Lifelong participation, including the growth of Masters swimming and swim-fit programmes
The Management Group for Swimming will be set up shortly. Anyone who is interested in participating should contact Mike Lambert, interim convenor for Swimming.
Disability Swimming
In line with the recommendations of the ASA, the South East Region will adopt a dual approach in support of disability swimming.
- Disabled swimmers will be encouraged to swim alongside able-bodied swimmers in “mainstream” competitions; multi-disability events will be included in Regional championships.
- Specialised disability events will be used to encourage the growth of disability swimming.
Licensed Meets
The South East Region’s responsibility for competition will extend to ensuring that all swimmers have the opportunity to compete at their own level, through the provision of appropriate licensed meets.
Where there is a need, the Region will support meets that are not financially viable.
