While many British Swimming meets have been cancelled or postponed during the last 2 years as the world battles the coronavirus pandemic, the organization has recently revealed its plan to return to domestic competition next year.
The Home Nation Summer Meets are provisionally scheduled for 15th-17th July (Scotland), 3rd-7th August (Wales) and 5th-9th August (England). More details on each of these events – including venues – will be published as they are revealed.
Additionally, the qualification window for the 2022 British Summer Championships and the respectively aforementioned home nation summer meets will span Friday, March 11th to Sunday, May 8th, 2022.
Invitations to these meets will remain as invitation-only, based on performances recorded during the qualification window.
Provisional dates for the British Summer Championships are currently set for 23rd-28th July 2022, to avoid a direct clash with the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. The swimming programme for Birmingham 2022 is scheduled from 29th July-3rd August.
According to British Swimming, entry to the aforementioned summer meets will continue to be by invitation only, based on performances recorded in this designated qualification window. Entries will be accepted from competitors registered as members of a British Swimming Home Nation governing body (Swim England, Scottish Swimming or Swim Wales).
now why would this be a surprise!
the whole mechanism for selection has latent defects
selection always at the discretion of the men paid the over inflated salaries
upcoming talent and the fringe swimmers will.suffer on historical performance
albeit those swims have been excellent in most cases
a certain performance centre will excel
please comment one loves a good debate
