British Championships to welcome international para-swimmers again
The British Junior Para Swimming Championships return to Coventry this weekend, with more than 100 young para-swimmers set to compete across two days.
One of the highlights of the swimming calendar for many young disabled competitors, it provides vital experience for national competitions. Several top world and Paralympic medallists, including Ellie Simmonds, Alice Tai and Jessica Jane Applegate, began their own success at the meet.
Last year saw an international team attend for the first-ever time, and a Spanish contingent will once again race against the next generation of British swimmers.
Jannine Walker, Head of Events and Programmes at Activity Alliance, said:
"We can’t wait to welcome every swimmer to Coventry this weekend. From those looking for some experience of attending a major championship, to youngsters aiming for a podium place this is sure to be an incredible weekend for all.
"Everyone should feel they belong in sports and activities, and the British Junior Para Swimming Championships are shining light of a truly inclusive event. They ensure that more disabled people can access more opportunities in sport and physical activity.
"It’s also exciting to welcome a team from Spain again. We want to continue to grow the event and would love to welcome more teams from across the world in the future."
