Welcome to the landing page of the Yorkshire Aquatics Limited (YAL). We are part of Swim England, and together with the Northumberland and Durham Swimming Association, we make up Swim England North East.
The YAL is the principal organising and regulatory body for the aquatic sport in the County of Yorkshire, North & North East Lincolnshire. The County of Yorkshire together with North and North East Lincolnshire had a population of 5.18 Million at the last census. It is the largest County in the UK by area and has almost the same population as Scotland (5.22M). If you want to know more about the administrative region of Yorkshire & Humberside click here.
On 18th October 2003, the traditional Yorkshire County area was extended to include the administrative areas of North and North East Lincolnshire, and YAL’s remit was extended to cover the Aquatic Clubs in those areas. YAL looks after the interest of swimmers, artistic swimmers, masters and water polo athletes and organises disability events. All Aquatic Clubs in the geographic area intending to send members to compete must affiliate with YAL to do so. Clubs in the county do this by affiliating to Swim England, together with affiliation to Swim England North East Region and YAL.
