British Swimming Championships this weekend - Good news is that they are live on the BBC Iplayer - I remember back in the 70s and 80s they used to be on TV, even.

All the sessions are also being streamed on the Aquatics GB youtube, which is helpful for those of us outside of the motherland not having to mess around with a VPN!

 

At the halfway point of the champs, and about what you would expect from the first national champs of a new Olympic cycle. 

 

Nice to see some young swimmers (Mills, Schlosshan etc) start to make waves. Stand out performance thus far being Olly Morgan in the 100 back for sure.

That's the funniest possible result in the 200m free.

U23 is a funny meet, still not entirely found its niche, but it was a fun couple fo days for all that, with Popovici obviously the highlight. Different nations give it different meaning, so its hard to really gauge, unlike the Juniors. For many countries, these swimmers are the fringe cast, with World Champs U23 withheld.
