Southport Club Championships 2026

The Club Championships came back round, and this time they were at home in Southport. I swam eight events over three sessions and won the 10 years age group in seven of them.

In session one I swam the 100m butterfly, the 200m backstroke and the 400m freestyle. The 100m butterfly was 1:25.24, which is 2.56 seconds faster than my previous best of 1:27.80 from Preston in July. The 200m backstroke (2:59.95) and the 400m freestyle (5:39.75) are the first times I have on record for those two events, so they're the ones to beat next time.

Session two was the 100m freestyle and the 200m breaststroke, and both were PBs. I swam 1:17.68 in the 100m freestyle, 1.86 seconds off my 1:19.54 from Preston, and 3:27.21 in the 200m breaststroke, which is 3.66 seconds faster than the 3:30.87 I swam at the Bobcats meet.

Session three was the 100m backstroke, the 50m butterfly and the 200m freestyle. I won the 100m backstroke in 1:26.13, which is the first time I have on record for that event. I also won the 50m butterfly in 39.35, a little slower than the 37.27 I swam at the Bobcats meet. In the 200m freestyle I came 2nd in 2:46.13, just 0.18 seconds off my best of 2:45.95.
