As part of the Tokyo 2020 campaign to drive more people into our pools, Swim England wish to work with clubs around the country to ensure there are taster days available for swimmers with a disability that wish to try the sport off the back of the Paralympics.
They have an allocated pot of funding to assist 3 clubs in the East Region to deliver a taster session for swimmers with a disability. The funding is designed to help fund pool hire/ coaches costs/ promotional material and will be around £150 per club. This taster session can be part of an existing session, or a bespoke session. If you wish to be part of the campaign, but do not require the funding, please do let us know.

Festival of Swimming – Additional Racing Opportunities
Swim England East Region has conducted its review of entries following the closure of the Stage 1 Entry Process.
With close to 4,000 entries, events at the London Aquatics Centre are now full. The Region has identified, however, an opportunity for additional athletes to swim at Norwich, and is therefore introducing four development 100m events in Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Freestyle. Please see the updated schedule on the Swimming Competitions page.
The events are open to swimmers aged 12 and over at 31 December 2021 who meet the consideration time (unchanged) and have not entered the same event in Stage 1 of the entry process. Swimmers can use times from 01.01.2019 to the entry closing date. The time must be on rankings at the point of entry and may be from Levels 1,2,3,4 or X. If too many athletes with the consideration time enter the events, the slowest swimmers will be rejected first.
Closing Date for entries is 10th July 2021 at noon. To enter – please follow this link:
https://www.swimmingresults.org/events/eastregionfs21x/
Para swimmers who wish to enter these 100m events and meet the para consideration times, again unchanged, should email swimentries@eastswimming.loxfyq1r35-lxd6r712q49g.p.temp-site.link for details of how to do so.
Athletes may not enter the development events if they are already entered for the same event at the London Aquatics Centre. Swimmers may however enter the development events if they are swimming other events at the London Aquatics Centre. Please fully read the conditions for the development events before entering to ensure you understand the implications of trying to enter the same 100m event at both locations.
Please do not ask to transfer a 100m swim from the LAC to Norwich as it will be refused.
