Swim England statement regarding coronavirus outbreak
17 March 2020
Having further reviewed the guidance, it is Swim England’s interpretation that club activity falls into the ‘public gathering’ category and therefore it is strongly advising clubs to consider cancelling or postponing activity – including events – until the end of May.
Swim schools should also make an informed decision on future lessons based on the current information from the Government.
Swim England will suspend talent activities across all disciplines with immediate effect, having already announced the decision to cancel all national events until the end of May.
This will include all international and domestic camps, competitions and related activities such as coach conferences across all aquatic sports.
British Swimming, which has also cancelled and postponed a number of events, is speaking to its elite athletes regarding training in the forthcoming weeks.
Best course of action
Jane Nickerson, Swim England Chief Executive, recognised the worries from clubs and learn to swim providers but said a final decision on whether to call off sessions and events had to rest with them.
She added: “We strongly advise on what we believe is the best course of action in the interests of our coaches, teachers, athletes, learners and volunteers.
“We will review this on an ongoing basis and continue to provide updates.”
Meanwhile, George Wood, Swim England’s Sport Development Director, has said the suspension on talent activities will be in place until further notice.
“We understand this will be disappointing for many and, ideally, we would like to rearrange later in the year when we can,” said George. “However, this will depend on how the current situation evolves.
“Our talent programmes will be contacting relevant athletes, coaches and deliverers to inform them of this decision and with further relevant details.
“We’d like to apologise to everyone for any inconvenience this will cause but know that you will understand that it’s been taken in the best interests of social responsibility and provides some certainty during the unprecedented situation we are facing.”
Swim England Update

16th March update from Swim England, as yet training is NOT cancelled, we will try to keep you updated via email and on the website. If you are not receiving emails, check your spam folder or email southaxholmesharks@gmail.com stating swimmers namd and squad.

Swim England has cancelled a number of forthcoming events due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
The decision has been taken following the Government’s announcement to implement increased social distancing, avoid crowds gathering and carrying out any unnecessary travel.
All competitions organised by the national governing body that are scheduled to be held between now and the end of May have been called off.
That includes the preliminary and qualification rounds and finals for the Water Polo National Age Group Championships for U17s and U19s boys and girls and the Artistic Swimming National Championships.
The British Masters Championships, which is organised and hosted by Swim England, will also not take place.
Entry fees and spectator tickets for all cancelled events will be refunded.
Swim England will look at the potential of rescheduling the events later in the year if that proves to be viable.
Jane Nickerson, Swim England chief executive, said: “Cancelling events is not a decision to take lightly but following the latest announcement by the Government, it’s only right and fair to our members and clubs that we made an announcement sooner rather than later.
“We hope this will allow people to cancel hotels and travel arrangements with the minimum of cost.
“We understand the frustration of those who have been training hard for our national competitions but the health and wellbeing of our athletes, coaches and volunteers is of paramount importance to us.
“Ideally, we would like to rearrange these events and we will look into that but it may not prove to be possible which is why we are refunding all entry fees and spectator tickets.
“We’d like to apologise to everyone for any inconvenience and disappointment these cancellations will cause but hope you understand this decision has been taken to provide some certainty within the unprecedented situation we are facing.”
Continue to review advice
Currently, the Swim England Diving National Age Group Championships is still scheduled to go ahead at the beginning of June.
Jane added: “We will continue to review advice from Government agencies and liaise with the venue operators in relation to our events and competitions from June onwards.
“Sadly, this virus is impacting our sport at a key time for open meets and regional championships. Whilst Swim England cannot dictate to regions and clubs, we do strongly recommend that, for the health and wellbeing of our membership, the advice of the Government is heeded.
“We understand the concerns around the qualifying window for the Swim England Summer Meet, which is impacted by the British Swimming Summer Championships.
“It has been agreed that the current window will be suspended and a technical meeting will take place this week to determine a process for issuing invitations for these meets.
“At present the Government has not closed schools or restricted school activity and therefore we do not see any reason why clubs should not continue with their training programmes in their own environment within the guidelines of the facility.
“We do not recommend training camps or competitions take place with members from different clubs.
“I am really sorry we are in a position whereby events are cancelled and we are recommending a curtailment of activities.
“However, this will not last for ever and we all need to work together to protect ourselves and each other.”
Meanwhile, the organisers of Swimathon have also announced the Swimathon 2020 event weekend – scheduled to take place between 27-29 March – has been postponed until later in the year.
The decision has been taken following the Government’s announcement to implement increased social distancing, avoid crowds gathering and carrying out any unnecessary travel.

Update from Committee
Posted by Sally on 16 March
The committee would like to reassure everyone that we are keeping abreast of all updates from both the UK government and Swim England with regard to the coronavirus outbreak.
Due to the seriousness of this virus to vulnerable members of our club we would stress that anyone who believes they may have come in contact with anyone who is either infected or is self-isolating should not attend training for the recommended fortnight.
Training will continue until such times as we are advised otherwise, by either authorities or by the pool. If you are attending training the advice from Swim England is:
“Competitors should shower before and after entering the water, while spectators and volunteers should regularly wash their hands for 20 seconds using soap and water or a sanitiser gel.
“Most importantly, if you feel unwell, please do not attend events or training and seek appropriate medical advice.”

As from Friday, 13th March Head Coach Stuart is recommencing the land training sessions in the leisure centre. All swimmers from all squads are able to join in - just turn up. Sessions run from 7:15pm until 8:00pm.
Those attending should wear suitable clothing and footwear for exercise and bring a drink. Anyone already having one of the stretch bands should bring them with you to the first session.
