• The ASA receives numerous queries regarding which activities are covered by the insurance policy
  and the members of the Health and Safety forum have drawn up the following suggested list of
  excluded activities for consultation.
• The following list of excluded activities is not exhaustive and if you wish members to participate in any activity under the auspices of you club which are outside the core activities relating to the disciplines of swimming which your club traditionally offers please contact Ash Cox on
  insurance.query@swimming.org. Please note that Ash may need to refer the query to the panel of
  experts appointed by the ASA Health and Safety committee and therefore you should allow sufficient time for your query to be resolved before organising any such activity.
• The ASA is aware that many clubs which do not traditionally offer open water swimming activities may, from time to time, wish to do so and therefore specific guidelines will be drawn up providing advice and guidance on this topic.
