Leicestershire ASA, as a member of Swim England, is governed by its Constitution and General rules. The association is managed by volunteers forming an executive committee consisting of Executive Officers, Standing Committee Officers and delegates from each affiliated club.

​

The Executive committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month, except for August when a meeting is not held. The Standing Committees are made up of the Executive Officers and at least one member of the Executive Committee and may enlist the help of others outside of the Executive Committee. The Standing Committee meetings are held on an 'as required' basis.

​

 

The Association has received the SE Governance Code accreditation which is in recognition of the high standards by which it operates giving confidence and assurance to its members. 

​

There is a wealth of diverse skills and experience among club members and always an opportunity for those skills to be utilised for the benefit of the sport and association.  

​If you are interested in being involved or want to know more please  email secretary@leicestershireasa.org  to arrange a chat with one of the Executive Officers.
