2025 AQUATICS GB SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Tuesday, April 15th – Sunday, April 20th Prelims at 9:30am local (4:30am ET)/Finals at 7pm local (2pm ET) London Aquatics Centre LCM (50m) Meet Central Aquatics GB World Championships Selection Criteria SwimSwam Preview Draft Entries Live Results Livestream Live Recaps Prelims: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 Finals: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4The penultimate night of Aquatics GB Championship finals is about to unfold from the London Aquatics Centre, site of swimming action at the 2012 Olympic Games.
We kick things off with the men’s 800m free where swimmers will be chasing an Aquatics GB consideration time of 7:47.80, a threshold under which just two British swimmers have ever been.
Loughborough’s Tyler Melbourne-Smith is the top-seeded contender, carrying a lifetime best of 7:59.59 into the main event.
Then we’ll move into the women’s 100m fly, with Scottish national record holder Keanna MacInnes having fired off the speediest time of the prelims in 58.16.
She’ll try to make it a 200m fly/100m fly double, although teammate Lucy Grieve was also under the 59-second barrier to claim the 2nd seed and try to rain on MacInnes’ parade.
The men’s 200m breast has a tough task ahead of them, as the World Championships qualifying standard sits at a steep 2:09.55.
The likes of Greg Butler, Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki will need to race absolutely lights out in order to clinch the gold in a Singapore-worthy result.
The final two events bring us the men’s 50m free and the women’s 200m IM where it’s very possible we may see more than one swimmer clock the Aquatics GB-mandated QTs.
The former event saw 17-year-old Jacob Mills impress again, following up his 100m free PB of 48.03 with a stellar 21.96 50m free to own the top spot. That marked his first-ever outing under the 22-second barrier.
Ben Proud, the reigning Olympic silver medalist, is pre-qualified for Singapore but still remains among the top 8 with a 2nd seed. Matt Richards was the 3rd-seeded swimmer but dropped out of tonight’s final. That means Lewis Burras, GBR’s #2 performer of all time, has sneaked into the medal-contending affair by the skin of his teeth.
The women’s 200m IM is set to see a battle among 100m/200m backstroke winner Katie Shanahan, two-time Olympian Abbie Wood and European Championships finalist Leah Schlosshan.
