All the motions were passed (with some reworded ahead of acceptance).

The CS&PF rules have been updated to reflect the agreed upon changes.

The changes include a change to the relay assessment swim requirements. Previously, the relay assessment swim requirement was a 2 hour swim in water 61°F/16°C or less.

The new wording is as follows and will come into effect for the 2021 season: 

All swimmers taking part in a relay team swim must supply written proof/ratification of a 1.5 hours swim then leave the water for a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 1.5 hours – then return to the water and swim for 1 more hour swim in water 61°F/16°C or less or proof of completion in a recognised event for a period considered by the CS&PF to be an acceptable alternative within the previous 18 months.
