Below are details reproduced from the Kent ASA website regarding the latest news on 2025 Kent Swimming Championships:

Closing Dates - updated 11 October 2024

  • 18 December 2024 for 800m freestyle at K2 Crawley on 11 January 2025
  • 8 January 2025 for the remainder of the events including all LAC events and 1500m freestyle at K2 on 1 March 2025

Programme and Qualifying Times - updated 10 October 2024

The Consideration times in a number of cases are slower than last year which may therefore mean that unlike last year when all entries were accepted there may be some rejections.  This will partly be due to the slower times but also due to the fact that as the LAC events take place outside the half-term holiday, those clubs who chose go away on half term-camps are likely to be in attendance. Swimmers should however enter all events for which they have the consideration time.   

We are also aware that the date for the 1,500m freestyle clashes with Arena League Finals weekend which will affect those clubs who qualify.  Whilst this is unfortunate, 1 March was the only feasible weekend date we could be obtain, both within the County Championships window and at a reasonable cost.

Confirmed Dates

We can now confirm the dates for the Championships next year are:

  1. Saturday 11th January at K2 Crawley (evening only 800m freestyle)
  2. Saturday 25th/Sunday 26th January LAC Stratford 
  3. Saturday 1st/Sunday 2nd February LAC Stratford
  4. Saturday 1st March at K2 Crawley (evening only 1500m freestyle)

We appreciate that the dates for the long distance events are not ideal but these are the only realistic and cost effective dates that can be obtained within the County Championship window.

We are finalising Qualifying Times and hope to have these out during the course of this month.
