European Swim Meets

We welcome swimmers of all ages, from 9 through to masters athletes. Each trip is structured to ensure the competition is appropriate to the age and ability of the swimmers involved, so everyone gets the most out of the experience.

Yes — we regularly organise trips for masters swimmers and have experience attending and coordinating entries for competitions across Europe.

We work with a wide range of abilities, from developing swimmers to high-level competitors. Each trip is carefully matched to the standard of the group, ensuring a competitive but enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Our trips are ideal for clubs and for masters programmes looking to combine competition with travel. We work with individuals and groups, and can tailor trips to suit specific clubs or squads.

Yes — swimmers are responsible for booking their own flights. We're happy to recommend suitable options to help coordinate travel with the group.

We take care of the rest, including competition entry, accommodation, and international clearance for racing abroad. After the meet, we also ensure results are correctly submitted to the British Rankings system.

Yes. We expect all members racing to have a racing licence which enables them to compete domestically and across Europe.

Cost varies depending on destination, group size, time of year, and the accommodation you choose. Rather than give a figure that might be misleading, we'd prefer to give you an accurate quote based on your specific requirements. Get in touch and we'll put something together for you.

Yes, we will ensure that all of your results are uploaded onto the British Swimming Rankings page.

It depends on the meet, but as a general rule the earlier the better. European competitions have entry deadlines that must be met, and we need confirmed names at least 28 days before the meet to process Aquatics GB international clearance in time. Get in touch as soon as you have a trip in mind and we'll work backwards from there.

Your trip cost covers accommodation, competition entries, accreditation, optional training days, and all admin and logistics management. The one thing not included is flights, we'll advise on the best options but leave you to book these directly, which usually gives you more flexibility on departure airport and timing.

Both. While most of our trips are organised for clubs or small groups, individual swimmers aged 18 and over are very welcome to book. At present we do not organise group trips to competitions abroad but we may start organising for solo swimmers looking to meet new friends!
