COVID-19 Guidance On 1st April we have had approval from sportscotland to publish new guidance for clubs and a summary of proposed changes which take effect 5th April. Please find links available to view on this page. A final approved 'Back to the Water' Routemap is available to view for all, here. Please note our Pool Operator, Swim School and Community Swimming guidance is still valid as there have been no significant changes to this guidance. You can also stay engaged with Scottish Swimming with our SS Connect programme, where you can find more information on here. COVID-19 has impacted us all and this period of lockdown has been some of the most challenging many of us will have ever experienced. We have set up this COVID-19 Guidance hub to offer support and advice to our members, clubs and partners as we follow the Scottish Government route map out of lockdown. We continue to consult with our members and partners on Guidance documents and can only publish this information once it has been approved by sportscotland and the Scottish Government. The guidance may change and evolve as new advice is published and there may be movement forward or backwards through phases depending on the latest public health information. Please ensure you have the latest version of these documents located at the top of the page. The documents have many embedded links and we recommend you right click on these to open in a new tab and ease your navigation through each document. While this is overarching guidance local authorities and pool operators may have their own site-specific guidance also.
