Want to know answers about anything that influences your sport? Then get your queries in now for a special ‘Question Time’ session being run as part of the ASA Swimming Conference on Saturday 23 October 2010.
Club administrators are being given the chance to pitch any questions they may have and possibly have them answered ‘live’ by members of the ASA senior management team.
Saturday 23 October 2010 from 9.30am to 3pm* - Holywell Park, Loughborough
The ASA Club Conference is your chance to talk to the ASA and discuss how we can work together to drive the sport’s future development. This year’s conference is aimed at those involved in club administration and the ASA want to develop a real two-way dialogue between staff and delegates on the day.
As well as guest speakers* from the world of swimming, all delegates will have the opportunity to attend workshops and visit the ‘market place’ where you will be able to chat to ASA staff or other experts on any matters that concern you… and this is where we want your help.
www.swimming.org is the new website for everything aquatic.
The site features everything you might need to know about swimming, from what to expect at your local leisure centre through to how to keep kids safe at the seaside.
As the official home to British Swimming, the site also covers the latest news on Britain’s top athletes, as well as being the website for the ASA – the English governing body for swimming – and the Institute of Swimming, the education provider for all aquatic courses.
In October 2008 the ASA annual Council agreed to change ASA laws to enable an individual to obtain temporary membership of the ASA as a category two or a category three member. Individual temporary membership is only available to people who are not current members of an ASA Club.

The ASA believes every parent should look for swim21 accreditation when looking for a club. This is because swim21 accredited clubs provide safe, effective, child friendly and quality services for the benefit of their swimmers and non-swimming members. Our Club is swim21 accredited.
David Sparkes, CEO; “As a Governing Body, the ASA would like to offer the best service it can to its membership. In order to do this we need to know how members rate our services.
To help with this we are asking you to take 10-15 minutes of time to complete the Member Satisfaction Questionnaire.”
The membership fee is only part of the funding the asa receives, which includes income from our award scheme and government funding for agreed projects and outcomes. The money is spent on achieving its primary aims below:
Swim 21 is the ASA’s Club Development model - a planning tool, based on the principles of Long Term Athlete Development, enabling clubs to help athletes, teachers, coaches and administrators to achieve their full potential.
