Dates do not clash with half-term in Hampshire, Jersey or Guernsey.

Dates were set after contacting numerous other venues. In the end we had little choice over dates/venues.  A number of pool operators declined to host counties, some will only provide hours that wouldn’t work for the county, some pools had to be ruled out on the grounds of safety (a growing issue as operators assess poolside capacity limits) and some pools don’t meet recommended standards. Winchester will only agree to dates that are three weeks apart.

Dates may change due to venue requirements, Swim England requirements or insufficient volunteers.

Volunteering 2026

Hampshire ASA is a non-profit organisation whose sole purpose is to support swimming in the County. Everyone is a volunteer – expenses are reimbursed for parking and lunch is provided😊

We all started as swimming parents – its really not that scary! Follow this link

Email: Hampshiretechteam@gmail.com if you are interested in helping whether its for one session or the whole competition or even helping before the event.

Schedule

The schedule will be published in due course.

The schedule is likely to be updated so we can better manage the number of swimmers (particularly on relay weekends), to prevent overly long sessions and, if necessary, to reflect what can be delivered based on the number of volunteers.
