Occasional Digest - a story for you

The British Swimming Championships will be streamed live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website next week.

The meet, which takes place at the London Aquatics Centre from 2-7 April, doubles as the British trials for this summer’s Olympics and Paralympics.

The BBC will broadcast every finals session while Channel 4 will stream the finals plus the morning heats.

BBC Sport will also broadcast the British Diving Championships which take place in May.

Great Britain won eight swimming medals, including four golds, at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, and 26 at the Paralympics.

Double Olympic champion Adam Peaty is among those who will compete in London as he bids to secure his place at this summer’s Games in Paris.

Peaty is making a comeback after taking breaks to deal with periods of depression and problems with alcohol.

The British Championships, which will carry an integrated schedule of swimming and para-swimming for the first time, will also be covered on BBC Radio 5 Live with daily reports on the BBC Sport website and app.
