British Swimming Selection Trials 2021 #BSST21
14 Apr 2021 — 18 Apr 2021
British Swimming have unveiled a number of changes to its flagship annual swimming meet, following the announcement of the UK Government’s roadmap on Monday 22nd February.
Taking place at the iconic London Aquatics Centre at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in 2020, the event will make London its home some 12 months later than originally planned, and is now scheduled for 14-18 April 2021.
Due to the ongoing COVID restrictions, continued uncertainty around the exact timetable of easing of lockdown, and in recognition that relatively few swimmers are back in training, the meet has been scaled back, with the ultimate focus being senior selections for international competition later this year.
Given this very specific focus of the event, we feel we can no longer call this a British Championships, hence the revision of the event title to the 2021 British Swimming Selection Trials.

The Schedule, Conditions and Entry Information will be published under the Coaches tab once available.
The 2021 British Swimming Selection Trials will be run using a ‘COVID bubble’, as has been the case with other events we have successfully run in 2021. For this to be viable, all athletes, coaches and support staff will be required to stay in one of the designated meet hotels, and will only be allowed to travel between the pool and the hotel for the duration of their stay.
To help make this process as smooth as possible, British Swimming will be handling all hotel bookings centrally, with further information and an accommodation booking form being sent to all entrants in due course. In the meantime, British Swimming politely requests that all prior hotel and Airbnb bookings made for this event are cancelled.

British Swimming Trials Event 2021
Coach Expression of Interest form
Any coaches who are interested in attending the British Swimming Selection Trials 2021 are asked to complete the Coach Expression of Interest form by 12 noon on Friday 26th March 2021. We will need to work within the restrictions of the COVID Management Plan to manage the number of coaches who can attend the event, so unfortunately not all coaches applying for an event pass will be granted one.
