Harrogate Janus Meet 2026

Well done Kingfishers!

Another fantastic weekend of racing and our first time competing in Harrogate. The meet was brilliantly organised, at a great venue and in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere with a huge range of events.

Our swimmers showed real confidence and ambition, stepping up to new challenges with many racing 200m and 100m events for the very first time. Their bravery paid off with a brilliant haul of personal bests across the team

There were a small number of disqualifications, and the way swimmers responded was outstanding. They showed true mental resilience to bounce straight back and post PBs in their very next races. Exactly the mindset we love to see

Special shout-out to Sam

• An outstanding 400 IM — laser-focused pre-race, composed throughout and a strong fast finish for another impressive PB

• And going sub-30 in the 50m Freestyle for the first time!

Fantastic swimming, well done Sam

Huge thanks to our coaches, team managers and parents for their continued support. And to all our swimmers, your attitude, behaviour and team spirit were exemplary.

Awesome work, Kingfishers!
