Regional Squad Best times 2026-2027 Season

As we approach the end of this season, we must start planning for the next.

Please use the link below to view your PB's based on the qualifying times for the 2026-2027 season.  

As everyone moves up an age group in the new season, some swimmers will have lost Yorkshire and NER times and must aim to achieve these again in the upcoming competitions. 

The aim is to achieve as many long course Yorkshire qualifying times in as many events as possible before the closing date (11th January 2027).

Best of luck

Competition Calendar & Entry Dates

Please find links below to the 2026-2027 competition calendar and competition opening and closing dates between August and December.


We have tried our best to spread entry dates out the best we can.  There are some weeks where there are more than one set of entries taken.  This is due to some competitions taking entries on a first come first serve basis and to secure our teams place in the meet we need to send them off as early as possible.

Volunteering opportunities at Swim England Summer Championships (Ponds Forge)

Hello all,


As a Swim England Performance Centre, COLSC has been asked to help out at the upcoming Summer Championships at Ponds Forge.


They are looking for some of our younger swimmers and athletes who aren't competing this year to volunteer as kit carriers and medal bearers during the finals. It’s a brilliant opportunity for them to get poolside at a major national event, experience the atmosphere, and watch the racing up close. It is also a great option for any siblings of those who are competing.


The details:

  • Dates: Monday 27th July to Saturday 1st August.
  • Timings: Roughly 17:00 – 20:00 (Monday to Friday) and from 14:30 on the Saturday.

They are also looking for volunteers aged 16+ to help out with Front of House and Field of Play roles, so parents or older siblings are welcome to get involved too.


Swim England runs the roster on a first-come, first-served basis. If your swimmer (or you) would like to help out, please either fill out the form here  or reply directly to Nina.Coverley@swimming.org with their name, age, and the days/sessions they are free.


Thanks All!
