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.

New Proposed swim school operations currently being reviewed
We are currently looking into changing our current operation in the forseable future, to ensure we are offering the best all round service to our customers and moving forward with the times. We are currently embarking on a change of operation to run a 50 week learn to swim programme, 10 weeks more than we are currently offering now.
As part of our changes we are also looking at reducing our teacher to pupil ratios at our lower ability stages to offer an even better and even more personal service to all our customers. (e.g. 7:1 from our Mayfield facilites) rather than (8:1/9:1)
We belive this will help with many factors such as employability, and enabling us to offer an easy payment system such as direct debit which would be more streamlined.
More information can be given by contacting us through our contact page.
