Initial information
To qualify for the Summer Championships all times must have been achieved in a level 1, 2 or 3 licensed competition between 1st June 2022 and the closing date (8pm on Tuesday 4th April 2023).
There will be no automatic qualifying times. The number of swimmers for each event is fixed and the fastest submitted entries will be accepted. Base (consideration) times will be published. No entry will be accepted that has not achieved the base time or better. Please note that achieving the base time does not guarantee acceptance.
Long course or short course times may be submitted. Short course times will be converted using the Swim England conversion tables for the purpose of determining which entries to accept and for seeding.
Despite a significant increase in costs, the region has decided to keep entry fees at the same level as 2022.
- Individual entries: £7
- Team entries: £14
All entries (except those from classified disabled swimmers) must be submitted as team entry files via the entry portal. Individual entries will not be accepted.
The number of entries for each event will be as set out in the tables below.
To minimise the rejection of entries that would qualify for summer national competitions, 15 year old boys have been moved to the “age group” weekends (22nd & 23rd April and 13th & 14th May).
- There will be more boys than girls swimming in the age group competition.
- There will be more girls/ladies than boys/men swimming in the youth competition.
The number of entries to be accepted has been equalised across all age groups.
There are 2 age groups for boys/men in the youth competition: 16 years and 17 years & over. There are different entry quotas for 16 years, 17 years and 18 years & over, to ensure that sufficient 17 year old boys are accepted.
This means that there is a chance that men in the 18 years & over category who have times that would qualify for national competitions might be rejected. Swimmers in that age group are advised to ensure that they have an alternative opportunity to set a qualifying time; there are several suitable meets over Easter, which are not in the qualifying period for this competition but meet the entry criteria for national competitions (10 March – 21 May).
