The changes announced that from Monday 14 September 2020 social gatherings of more than six people are banned does not affect existing SAA guidance on diving activity
The National Government Body has received confirmation from our partners at Sport and Recreation Alliance,
in consultation with Sport England, UK Sport and DCMS, to clarify the impact on our sector:
While social gatherings of more than six people will be banned in England from 14 September, the government has confirmed that organised sports and activities that have been through return to play protocols can continue…
Facilities including gyms and pools can continue to be used and classes within these venues can also continue for now. However, people should not attend these venues socially in groups of more than six.
That’s because these sports and activities have stringent plans in place to reduce the risk of COVID-19, and because these venues are classed as Covid-secure given the measures they’ve introduced.
As we are sure you can appreciate, advice will continue to evolve as restrictions change and the Alliance will update the guidance on our Covid-19 section of the website to reflect the very latest information.
– Sport and Recreation Alliance
Therefore, provided that clubs follow the SAA Covid 19 Guidance which can be found on our website:https://saa.org.uk/
