If your child is in our Skills Academy, Competitive Development, or County Development Squads, you may have already come across Swim England Rankings. This is often the first moment swimming feels “official” — times appear online, filters sort results, and suddenly every swim has a number attached to it. 🏊‍♂️📲

Show Your Super Powers ⚡ After the buzz of last Sunday’s 800 freestyle — with an incredible 86 swimmers taking on one of the toughest events in the pool — we’re ready to launch into the first full block of this year’s Club Championships. This Sunday we kick off with a one-day meet, before the main full weekend on 12/13 October.

The start of a new season always brings fresh energy ⚡ and new ideas 💡. For Bluefins, this September was no different.

At every Bluefins meet, our swimmers dive in ready to give it their all. But behind the racing, there’s a team making sure every start, turn, and finish really counts. That team is our officials. Here’s the truth: without officials, there are no licensed swims, no personal bests on rankings, no records. The even better truth? Any parent can step up and do it.

The 1500m freestyle may be the ultimate test of endurance in swimming, but the 800m sits just behind it — and Bluefins are once again raising the bar. With 83 swimmers entered across all age groups, the 800 at this Sunday’s Club Champs opener promises a showcase of grit, determination, and team spirit.

The National Arena Swimming League is one of the UK’s most electric club competitions. For Bluefins, the 2024/25 season was historic: First-ever season with three teams across all divisions, a representation level few clubs in the South East can match. Momentum came off the back of a stellar 2023/24, where our A Team earned promotion to the Premier Division and our B Team powered into Division 1.
