Entry fees
After nearly three years of holding our entry fees for swimming competitions as low as possible we have had to review them in the light of significant increases in costs over the past year and particularly in the current season.
The income derived from swimming competitions; Relay Gala, County Championships and Winter Competition, allows us to run development camps, send teams to represent the county, provide CPD training for clubs and officials, fund a bursary scheme for club development as well as supporting water polo, diving and synchronised swimming.
The entry fees for swimming competitions promoted by Sussex County ASA from 1st January 2019 are:
- Team events: £10.00 per team
- Long Distance events (800m & 1,500m) £8.00 per entry
- All other swimming events £6.00 per entry
- Poolside accreditation passes £25.00 each (required by all coaches and team managers)
Because we recognise the impact these changes will have on families we are making spectator entry to the Relay Gala free of charge in 2019. We also have no expectation of increasing spectator entry to other events in 2019.

At every event we need the support of non technical helpers to ensure that the event runs as efficiently as possible. Could you offer us some of you’re spare time to help us run this event?
