The British Championships and the three home nation summer meets continue to form part of the broader Performance Pathway Strategy aimed at supporting the UK’s junior swimming talent on their journey towards senior medal-winning International performances.

Entry to these key end of season events is by invitation only from performances recorded in the designated qualifying window. The 24 top ranked swimmers in each event in each age group will be invited to attend the British Summer Championships, with the exception of the 800m and 1500m events where the top 18 will be invited.

Thereafter, the following 20 fastest Home Nation Competitors, in an individual event, except the 800m & 1500m Freestyle which will be limited to 15 competitors, from a Swim England affiliated club or those who have chosen to be ranked as an English swimmer, will be invited to compete in the National Summer Meet 2018.

This year for the first time we will be publishing weekly rankings list once the Qualifying Window opens, please click here to access.
