Swim England is ‘proactively working’ on how it can take the next steps towards competitive activity – after announcing the numbers in some group training sessions can now increase.

The latest Government guidelines on group numbers means Swim England has updated its Returning to the Pool guidance for clubs.

While no national competitions are scheduled to take place this year, Swim England is looking at how it can safely take the next steps in the return of all its sports.

George Wood, Swim England Sport Development Director, said: “Everyone who loves our sports has missed being able to train in the pools and once clubs start sessions, we know athletes will start to wonder when competitions can be held again. We will continue to be guided by the Government on when it will be safe to do so but we are proactively working on how we can take those next steps.”
