The moment is nearly upon us for the 2026 Aquatics GB Swimming Championships to dive into action at the London Aquatics Centre, with six packed days set to unfold from Tuesday 14th April.
A host of Olympic and Paralympic champions including Duncan Scott, Alice Tai, Adam Peaty and Poppy Maskill are among more than 1,000 athletes who will be racing across a fully-integrated swimming and para-swimming programme, with national titles and selection to the teams for this summer's European Championships up for grabs – while these Aquatics GB Swimming Championships are also an important fixture for those athletes aiming to earn the chance of representing their Home Nation at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.
The para-swimming races will be contested in a multi-classification format, with athletes' race time earning them points in relation to their specific classification.
