The Propulsion Swimming Podcast previews day 5 of the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships 2026. We discuss who is likely to be crowned the newest 50m Freestyle British Champion in the absence of Ben…
let's go straight into that first event then that seems like a really really good place to start we kick things off with a power final as we do with a lot of these events and the star names in this one are s14 swimmers and a certain s10 swimmer in faye rogers um faye rogers butterfly is her thing she's going to be going up against poppy maskil olivia newman baronius two outstanding swimmers within their own rights um When it comes to power points on the day, I don't think you look past Faye Rogers.
Or do you, Dan?
Oh, I mean, Faye is, I think, favourite going in.
And the only one who could potentially cause an upset, I'm going to call it an upset, would be Poppy.
Funnily enough, they could both hit a world record in their respective classifications here.
And it's just about who gets underneath their world record the most, I suppose.
But yeah, I suppose Faye Rogers is the one to watch out for when it comes to butterfly in general.
I think she's more suited to the 200, but just as capable at the 100.
And it's not just her and Poppy and all the S14 swimmers you just said.
There's Brock Winston swimming it, Alice Tyre swimming it, Callianne Warrington.
I mean, it's a pretty stacked event.
We talked about the 403 the other day being sort of like the main para event.
Women's 100 Bus Flames country is
also very strong.
It is.
It definitely is.
And it's a great way to start day five.
Next up, then, the Open Final, the consideration times that need to be here.
As we've done all through this week so far, we're going to give you Euros.
So for Aquatics GB to go to the European Championships at the end of the summer, the consideration time is at 57.48. To make the English team a 58-1-4, Scottish 58-8-6, Welsh 58-8-1, Northern Irish 59-2-0.
There is a lot of swimmers to watch in this one and a lot of swimmers, in my opinion, who will challenge that Euro spot.
Is there a chance we see multiple dip under this time? Because we've mentioned a lot of these names already earlier on this week.
So everyone listening should really be familiar with them.
