The British Swimming Championships are an annual event organised by British Swimming (the governing body of swimming in the United Kingdom).
History[]
The event is usually held in March or April each year in a long course (50 m) swimming pool, with the results usually acting as selection trials for upcoming international level competitions due to be held in the following summer season.[1]
Previously the event was known as the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) National Championships.[2] A list of past winners shows the winners of all disciplines.
