How Aquatics GB Swimming Championships times work
The British Championships publish one consideration time per event, for women and for men, with no age groups. Reaching the time gets an entry considered.
Only times swum in a 50m pool count. Converted 25m times are not accepted, so this checker uses long course times only.
In 2026, entry times had to be on the British rankings, from competitions designated or licensed for entry into national competitions since 1 January 2025. Entries opened on 26 January and closed at 5pm on 17 March 2026.
Heats are swum in the morning with finals in the evening: an Open A final, an Open B final for swimmers born 2007 or earlier, and a Junior final for the next fastest juniors (born 2008 to 2012 in 2026).
Not yet confirmed for 2027: These are the 2026 consideration times, used as a guide until the 2027 times are published. Para swimmers enter on Aquatics GB Para Swimming Points, not these times; para entry is not covered by this checker.
