The new end of season British Summer Championships will take place across six days at Ponds Forge in Sheffield next year from 28 July to 2 August.
The championships form part of a broader Performance Pathway strategy aimed at increasing and supporting junior talent on the journey to senior medal-winning performance.
From 2015, swimmers will have the opportunity to post a long course time within a “qualification window” (broadly expected to be between mid-March and late-May) with up to 24 top ranked swimmers in each age group and event being invited to the new end of season British Summer Championships.
For those that finish outside of the top ranked places, the next level of talent will have the opportunity of attending home nation championships in England, Scotland and Wales at around the same time.
This 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.
