The 2022 Age Group and Championships will take place over three weekends.

Saturday 22^nd Sunday 23^rd January

Saturday 29^th Sunday 30^th January

Saturday 5^th Sunday 6^th February

All three weekend with be at Liverpool Aquatics Centre, as Manchester Aquatics Centre will be closed for refurbishment during this time.  As Liverpool’s spectator capacity is less than a third of Manchester’s, spectator seating will be issued via a ticket system, more information in the coming months. Because of this we will be heavily relying on our streamed live output during the event.

We are currently planning to stream all three weekends, to help keep the entry price of the championships down we looking for companies to partner with us to reduce the cost to the swimmer. If you know of any companies or individual who would be able to support us, please could they contact Rick Atkinson directly rick@wiganswimming.co.uk.

The programme of events is currently being working on and once a draft version is available it will be published, as in previous year, there will be finals for 50 and 100 metre events.

Consideration times will be the same as they were in 2020 and have published below, times will be accepted from the 1st January 2020 to 9th January 2022 from a licensed meet (Levels 1,2,3,4 & Level X), no split times will be accepted.
