British Swimming Championships 2022 #BSC22

A draft programme for the 2022 British Swimming Championships is available here.

All results and start lists will be available here during the event.

UPDATE - 18th March 2022

Following a review of total entries and session capacity limits, the British Swimming Event Planning Group has unfortunately had to restrict entry numbers to some events for the British Swimming Championships at Ponds Forge in Sheffield, scheduled for 5-10 April.

In accordance with the pre-published event conditions, relevant operational limitations relate to maximum pool capacities, the total number of athletes in each of the three sessions per day and the number of heats that can be accommodated per event.

As per the event conditions, those athletes whose entries are unable to have been accepted will have their entry fees refunded in full. We are also sensitive to the fact that there may be some people who have booked accommodation and done further planning in advance of the Championships, and we were therefore keen to communicate this update as soon as we could to avoid as much inconvenience as possible.

A full draft programme for the British Swimming Championships will be published later today and we would kindly ask all those who have entered to check the listings for each event. The draft programme will be available at this link.

We are pleased to confirm that spectators will be able to attend this year’s event. Tickets are now available to purchase from The Ticket Factory HERE.

Our flagship domestic event will take place at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre from 5th-10th April 2022, and will play key a role in the qualification process for June's World Championships in Budapest - the first of three major international meets across the year after a historic 2021 for Britain's swimmers.

The six-day meet is also envisaged to help team selections for the remaining senior and junior international meets in 2022, with British and Home Nation athletes targeting big performances to get them on teams for the world stage. 

Plans for the 2022 British Swimming Championships in Sheffield are ongoing and will continue to take into consideration the latest Government advice - but given the importance of competition for swimmers across the age groups, this year's meet will look to be more inclusive again, allowing more athletes to compete across junior and senior sections. We remain optimistic of putting on a large-scale meet, although we acknowledge the possibility that alternative plans may be required.

Further information on qualifying times and event conditions can be found as additional documentation under the coaches tab, with further spectator information to be available in due course.
