With school lessons now over until September, students are currently enjoying additional time to invest in their hobbies and passions which means additional opportunities to finesse their racing skills, prior to some season ending racing.

The Aquatics Next Gen Championships take place in Sheffield from 16th-23rd July 2026. Entry is by invitation, only for the top 24 ranked swimmers in their age groups, following performances achieved during the qualification window (March to May).
