We are pleased to announce that following a Special General Meeting on Saturday May 17th the name of the organisation behind Yorkshire Swimming was transitioned from Yorkshire Swimming Association (YSA) to Yorkshire Aquatics Limited (YAL). YAL is now a company Limited by Guarantee. All of the key volunteers remain in post with the new organisation, and we are pleased to welcome Kevin Sissons as the new County President for 2025/6.

Clubs We Represent
On 18th October 2003 the traditional Yorkshire County area was extended to include the administrative areas of North and North East Lincolnshire, and YAL's remit extended to cover the Aquatic Clubs in those areas. YAL looks after the interest of swimmers, synchronized swimmers, masters and water polo athletes and organises disability events. All Aquatic Clubs in the geographic area intending to send members to compete must affiliate to YAL in order to do so. Clubs in the county do this by affiliating to Swim England, together with affiliation to Swim England North Eastern Region and YAL.
