The Essex Mini League provides a framework for competition between amateur swimming clubs within the county of Essex. The league currently has 16 member clubs arranged in a single division. Each club swims in five galas each season, arranging and hosting one of them. The league organises the fixture list with the aim that each club will swim against every other club in the league during the season and not swim against the same club more than once. In practice, it is impossible to arrange fixtures without compromising these aims to some extent. Galas are swum on the second Saturday of each month from February to October (excluding August).

The service is provided for anyone involved in swimming, including children and young people who believe that the welfare of a young child is at risk. This could be neglect or abuse, bullying or fear of someone, or anything that is worrying you and you don't know who to discuss it with.
