Congratulations to Clara, who delivered an exceptional set of performances at the Irish National Age Group Championships. Taking on some of the best young distance swimmers in Ireland, Clara rose to the challenge in style. She was crowned National Champion in both the 1500m and 800m Freestyle, showing brilliant endurance, pacing, and determination across two demanding events.

Massive congratulations to our 16 Bluefins swimmers who have qualified for the 2025 Summer National Championships in Sheffield. This is a phenomenal achievement for the club, and a reflection of the talent, commitment, and hard work of our athletes, coaches, and wider Bluefins family.

Bluefins delivered strong performances at the South East Regional Championships 2025. Competing against some of the strongest clubs in the region, our swimmers secured 5th place in the Age Group Team standings, a result that reflects depth across squads and consistent progression through the pathway. Across Wycombe and Winchester, swimmers produced personal bests, finals appearances and podium finishes in a demanding long course environment.

The 2025 Hampshire Age Group & Youth Championships will go down as one of the most successful in Bluefins’ history. Across three action-packed weekends, our swimmers produced an avalanche of medals, finals, PBs, and club records, with stand-out swims from our youngest 10-year-olds right through to our Performance athletes chasing British Champs times.

This January marks a milestone moment for Basingstoke Bluefins, as we proudly announce our biggest ever entry to the Hampshire Age Group and Youth Championships. An incredible 95 swimmers will be representing Bluefins over the next few weekends — a record number that highlights just how far our club has come in recent years.
