In 1956, the BLDSA was formed by a group of keen swimmers who wanted to protect and promote the interests of long distance swimmers. Since its origins, the BLDSA has developed the rules under which swims are completed, recorded and recognised. By becoming a member of the BLDSA you become eligible to enter BLDSA swimming events across the country.
