The tables below give a summary of where Britain's swimmers are currently ranked long course in the world's top 100 as shown on the FINA world rankings combined with data extracted from the rankings compiled by SwimSwam and those maintained by British Swimming. The number one ranking is also shown for comparison purposes.
As this is dependent on the three data sources being updated with meet results, and showing nationalities correctly, there may be omissions. If you see an issue please get in contact.
By default the current year is shown, but you can also see previous year's rankings below.
