Summer Championships window is set open
30th April 2015
The qualifying window for the British Summer Swimming Championships and associated home nation summer competitions will open on Friday 13th March.
Results from licensed long course competitions between 13th March and 31st May (plus ASA Regional Championships which take place in early June) will be used as the basis to form rankings from which those eligible to enter the summer meets will be identified.
The establishment of a new British Summer Championship for 2015 was announced in October as the first headline component of a broader British Swimming Performance Pathway Strategy.
The new competition structure has been designed to expose an even greater number of young, talented swimmers to national competition whilst at the same time providing a firm foundation to ensure Britain sees more of its exciting junior talent transition to becoming successful senior athletes.
The 2015 British Summer Swimming Championships will be held 28 July to 2 August in Sheffield. For details of the event schedule and conditions for the British Summer Championships click here
All swimmers should note that when identifying qualifiers for the home nations meets, the system will assume that athletes wish to be ranked by the Country of your ranked club. If swimmers wish instead to be ranked on the basis of country of representation then individuals must email HNMeetChoice@swimming.org with name, date of birth, membership number, current ranked club and registered Country of Representation and clearly state their wish to be ranked by your Country of Representation in relation to the Home Nation Summer Meets. This needs to be done by midnight on 30th April.
Athletes can check the ranked club and country of international representation on membership record by entering your membership number here
Swimmers who qualify will need to confirm their entry and make the appropriate payment via the online entry system following the qualifying period. “It is anticipated that qualifier lists will be uploaded to the online entry system on 10 June. Further details of this will be announced at a later date.
