The final day of action at the Edinburgh International Swim Meet and the last opportunity for Great Britain’s best swimmers go head-to-head for 2018 British Swimming Championships titles. Limited tickets are remaining.
Four days of world-class racing come to a conclusion today at this year’s British Swimming Championships that also include the Edinburgh International Swim Meet. The cream of Britain’s swimmers are in the Scottish capital for a competition that for many features the final racing before heading out to the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
The championships see the best of British Swimming in action against athletes from across Europe including the German national team at Edinburgh’s Royal Commonwealth Pool. Over 500 competitors have travelled from all corners of the UK to compete and as well as the 32 British titles up for contention, many athletes will be looking to hone their race skills and test their arena processes ahead of April’s Commonwealth Games.
The action over the four days represents the final opportunity for fans to see many of Britain’s best including Olympic and World Champion Adam Peaty, World Champion James Guy and Olympic medallist Siobhan-Marie O’Connor in action before they travel to the Gold Coast.
The meet will also see a strong contingent of top class talent from event partner, The University of Edinburgh, including double Olympian Lizzie Simmonds, multiple Welsh record holder Kathryn Greenslade and Scottish Champions Lucy Hope and Corrie Scott. They will race against Spain’s Olympic champion Mireia Belmonte and a strong German team including Olympian’s Lisa Graf, Christian Diener and Damian Wierling. Junior swimmers from across Great Britain will also be vying for selection to this summer’s European Junior Championships in Helsinki.
