BLDSA MEMBERSHIP IS NOW OPEN FOR 2013

BLDSA - The BLDSA was formed by a group of keen swimmers in 1956. At that time there was no organisation in place to look after or to promote the interests of long distance swimmers. The BLDSA has since its origins developed the rules under which swims are completed, recorded and recognised.
