ASA regional open water championships closing in

The ASA hold regional open water championships for Masters swimmers every year. They are friendly events which encourage swimmers and families to go along and have a good day out.

If you’d like a different type of challenge then why not enter your nearest one? You can swim as little as 750m up to a stroke stretching 5km.

Some of them even let you wear a wetsuit and take part as a fun event although you will not appear in the overall results. As usual with all ASA events you have to be a member of a swimming club and you have to be confident you can complete the course.

The entry details can be found on the Masters Calendar. You’ll need to read through all of the conditions and make sure you follow them but don’t wait too long to enter the closing dates are approaching fast.

ASA events are run to a strict set of guidelines – please note you have to attend the safety briefing before being allowed into the water.
