Swimsuit query
There are occasions when, for religious reasons, a swimmer needs to remain covered and the wearing of a full length body suit should not pose a barrier to the individual taking part in training and/or competition. The Legal Department has provided guidance in relation to this and the document can be accessed via the link below.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been on vacation. I have one basic question. What does "ASA" stand for?
Amateur Swimming Association - Also known as British Swimming. They like to think they are different governing bodies, but they both work at the same head office in Loughborough. They also employ the same members of staff. All very complicated, but that's how the governing body here likes to operate.
Smoke and mirrors! Ducking and Diving!
