The British Universities & Colleges Sport Championships kick-off their long course competition in Sheffield today, with both emerging athletes and established stars alike set to race. Last year’s event saw then-Plymouth Leander swimmer Ben Proud smash a new British National Record in the men’s 50m freestyle, while the short course version in November resulted in Stirling’s Duncan Scott taking things to a new level across his free and fly events.
This year, the 3-day long course affair will see Olympians Adam Peaty, Jazz Carlin, James Guy and Siobhan-Marie O’Connor all compete as guests of honor in the meet attracting a total of 1158 competitors. Below are other key swimmers and events to look for at Ponds Forge beginning today. Look for daily recaps of all the action.

Where are all the University of Stirling athletes?
I have seen Stirling coaches – But only a few Stirling swimmers. They’re slated for the M4x100 so we’ll see soon.
Stirling confirmed that just Murdoch is here from the elite squad, as most others already competed at McCullagh Memorial earlier this month – https://staging.swimswam.com/stirling-swimmers-scott-wallace-dawson-headline-mccullagh-memorial/
