After announcing their rebrand from British Swimming to Aquatics GB there was another piece of news that snuck out at the same time as preparations continue for this year’s Olympic trials at the London Aquatic Centre, as Tom Dean revealed on his podcast that the competition would stay there for the next 5 years.
On the eve of the British Swimming Championships, the governing body has revealed that it is changing its name and from now on will be known as Aquatics GB.
World Aquatics has announced the initial entries for the upcoming World Championships, revealing the events for the British swim team. Adam Peaty returns after over four years to compete in breaststroke events, with 16 out of 20 British swimmers participating individually.
It was an early season long course shake out for a host of GB swimmers who competed at the Rotterdam Qualification Meet over the weekend. A big group from the Bath Performance Centre was added to by swimmers from Loughborough, Stirling and a number of other squads, and a number of eye catching performances resulted.
