While the association was able to hold their annual championships in February, many swimmers from around the region will miss the opportunity to compete at the Victorian Country All Junior and Interdistrict competitions this month, with both events cancelled.
"It's a bit sad," Ovens and Murray District Swimming Association's Sally Whitehouse said.
Traditionally this would be the association's downtime, however many clubs would still look to be training.
It's hoped the first meet back can be held in June.
