Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) is now known as Swim England
The Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) has been rebranded to Swim England as part of a four-year strategy to strengthen the sport and boost participation.
Swimming is England's most popular mass-participation sport, ahead of athletics or cycling, but a 2016 survey found a drop in adult swimming numbers.
The strategy - titled 'Toward a Nation Swimming' - aims for a "significant increase" in participation.
This includes encouraging young people to try other types of aquatic sport.
The strategy document cites six areas of focus:
- strong leadership and advocacy for the sport
- greater participation numbers
- increased diversity
- the elite talent pathway
- better motivation for the workforce
- future sustainability.
'Toward a Nation Swimming' is the first strategy that focuses solely on swimming in England.
