The site features everything you might need to know about swimming, from what to expect at your local leisure centre through to how to keep kids safe at the seaside.

As the official home to British Swimming, the site also covers the latest news on Britain’s top athletes, as well as being the website for the ASA – the English governing body for swimming – and the Institute of Swimming, the education provider for all aquatic courses.

Have you visited the site yet? If not why not take a look on Monday 29th March, on the first day of the British Gas Swimming Championships 2010. There will be web chats with a top name from the sport and recorded highlights packages after each day’s racing. There’s even a “hook a duck” competition where you could win signed swimming goodies.

Please feel free to forward this news to your friends, family or colleagues … basically anyone who you think might be interested in aquatics!

During the past few months, we have been running the website you are viewing now in parallel with the new site to allow visitors to get used to the new structure and to allow information to be migrated.

But from Monday 29th March the site you are viewing now will no longer be accessible.

Taking place on Thursday 4th March 2010, the third ASA Swimming Teaching Conference will be held at the Heritage Motor Museum in Warwickshire.

The conference is open to all swimming teachers but is particularly aimed at swimming teachers and co-ordinators working on the delivery and improvement of school swimming.

Marc had his left leg amputated because of cancer when he was just 17-years-old but was still able to fulfill his dream of being the best that he could be and just 18 months after he finished his chemotherapy he was selected to represent Great Britain.

He subsequently competed at European & World Championships and Paralympic Games. In his 17 years of competition he won a staggering 12 Paralympic medals from 5 Games, 4 of those medals being gold. Marc also won a further 21 medals from European and World Championships.

There will also be a range of informative and inspirational workshops including:

Using different teaching styles for school swimming - focuses on the 4 strands of the National Curriculum and how to use different teaching styles that can be adopted to improve school swimming.

Effective school swimming - looking at the programming, delivery and monitoring of swimming programmes within school swimming.

Teaching swimmers with disability/challenging behaviour - explains the conditions, syndromes and disorders and gives strategies for managing the behaviour of a swimming teaching environment.
