Swimming

From your first county debut to national finals, swimming in Devon is built on people: swimmers, coaches, volunteers and families who show up, cheer loudly and chase small improvements every week. Devon ASA helps clubs create the right environment to learn well, race fairly and enjoy the sport for life.

Swimming in Devon

Pathways & progression

Everyone’s route is different. We help swimmers move from club time trials to county events, on to regionals and beyond at a pace that suits them. If you’re curious about what’s next, talk to your coach or get in touch with our Swimming team.

FAQs

Do I need qualifying times?

Development meets are entry-level. County Championships require published qualifying times. Ask your coach.

What kit do I need?

Start with a training suit, goggles and a cap. Your coach will advise on race suits and extras when the time is right.

Can I volunteer if I’m new?

Yes. We provide training and mentoring for all officiating and team roles.
