Swim England National County Team Championships 2026

On Sunday the County Team Champs were held in Sheffield’s Ponds Forge. Its set up is a little like Arena; two divisions, max 2 individual swims + relays. Swimmers are specially selected for this event following County results: Gus and Eris were selected from Winsford and joined other top performers in each group to make team Cheshire. Cheshire came 20th in Division 1 which will mean relegation but likely to reverse again the following year. Super exciting day and great to be a part of! Well done.
