A number of British swimmers across the big club powerhouses are scheduled to compete at the 2019 Manchester International Swim Meet, which kicks off tomorrow, Saturday, October 19th.
Amateur and pro athletes alike will take to the Manchester Aquatics Centre pool, with age groupings concisely divided into ‘Open’ for 17/over and ‘Junior’ 16/under for women, along with ‘Open’ for 18/over and Junior 17/under for men.
Last year Japanese superstar Rikako Ikee made an appearance at the meet, with her coach Jiro Miki having ties to the British swimming community. Ikee has since been diagnosed with leukemia and is putting up a good fight while staying connected to her fans.
