The Aquatics GB Swimming Championships get under way on Tuesday, 14 April with Olympic and Paralympic champions Duncan Scott, Alice Tai, Adam Peaty, Freya Anderson and Matt Richards among those competing.

British titles will be awarded in 36 medal events across the meet as athletes also battle for places on the GB team heading to Paris for this summer's European Aquatics Championships.

It will also serve as a key opportunity for those targeting selection for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

BBC Sport will be showing full coverage of all of the evening finals sessions at the London Aquatics Centre in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Can Filip Nowacki challenge Adam Peaty in the 100m breaststroke?

Peaty faces two 17-year-old challengers

Three-time Olympic champion Adam Peaty is likely to be challenged for the 50m and 100m breaststroke titles by two 17 year olds - Filip Nowacki and Max Morgan.

Jersey's Nowacki is a world junior champion and stronger in the longer races (100m/200m) while Morgan, who is still at school, is stronger at the shorter distance (50m/100m). Both are hoping to break through for the LA 2028 Olympics but will they defeat Peaty in London?

One swimmer who will not be competing is three-time Olympic Champion Tom Dean, who has been forced to withdraw because of a shoulder injury.

Dean, who trains at the University of Stirling alongside fellow Olympic and world 4×200m champions Scott and Jack McMillan, made the announcement on social media, saying: "A shoulder injury means my team and I have made the decision not to race in Stratford next week as I prioritise rehab and stay focused on an exciting summer of racing ahead!"
