British Masters Championships 2026
Emily headed up to Aberdeen aquatic centre for the British Masters National Long Course Championships from 12-14th June 2026. What an experience and competition this was for her, and all the training and hard work on the build up to this. A year ago she attended her first national long course meet in London Aquatic centre, and since then always had the aim of going to this years competition. Emily entered 7 races over the 3 day event; 50m Fly, 100m Free, 100m Back, 100m Fly, 50m Free, 200m Fly, and 50m Back. This was a very busy schedule but with all the training done, the motivation and dedication this did not faze her.
The support of Yiangou Nutrition was key to keeping her fuelled and energy levels high throughout. Her first race proved the value of keeping energy levels high; 50m Fly in 30.34 seconds and coming home a Masters National Champion! This is not just her first Gold National medal, but also a Tidworth Congers first, where she has been a valued member since it formed. A massive achievement but she went on to the rest of the races and smashed a total of five new long course personal best records by a huge margin. Not only that, she also brought home two silver medals; one for 100m Fly and one for 200m Fly.
Her other four races were all very close fourth finishes, especially her 50m Free where she finished in a time of 28.98 seconds, placing her joint fourth and only 0.01 seconds behind third place. This just proves how competitive and precise swim competitions are.
The results from this weekend are huge and just shows how hard Emily has trained for this competition and throughout the year. This was a very busy weekend with lots of races, so to maintain such a high level of results throughout the weekend was a true test of speed and endurance amongst a competitive field. Some amazing times and hard racing, and we look forward to what results she can continue to gain in future competitions.
