  • Regional Open Water Championships

This decision also impacts these regional development events:

Joan Wheeler, Regional Chairman, said that ‘Swim England East Region very much regrets having to make this decision as we know that our coaches and swimmers had worked hard to qualify for regional events.  We do, however, have to be realistic about the likely timescales for restrictions on large scale gatherings, and the health and well-being of our members has to be our first priority’.
