25th - 26th February 2023

2023 Kent Swimming Championships

London Aquatics Centre, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park E20 2ZQ

11/12 February and 25/26 February

Officials: First and foremost, sessions 2, 3 and 4, 11/12 February, are desperately short of qualified and licensed officials – the championships are licensed at level one, and it is a requirement to retain the level one status that all officials are qualified and licensed – please contact Jean Scott.

Spectators: Doors will open to spectators at 8am on the West Ham side – spectators will need to have purchased a pre-paid ticket £5pp per session, children 12/Under free and show evidence at the door before gaining access to the building. Wristbands will be given out to all – these need to be worn to be readily identified by security. Link to purchase tickets may be found here. Please note the following:

  • No food may be brought in – security will be present to carry out bag searches.
  • There will be a catering pop up pod on the West Ham side and there is the cafeteria just off of reception.
  • It is recommended that you use Car Park B at the Westfield Shopping Centre – there is very limited space at the LAC car park.
  • It is difficult at this time to plan travel by train but when and where you can it is advisable to use public transport and the rail network.

West Ham United: Please be aware that WHU has a home game on 11 February against Chelsea KO 12.30. WHU has another home game on 25 February against Nottingham Forest KO 1500

Swimmers/Coaches/Team Managers/Officials: Doors will open to these groups of people at 7.30am on the Westfield side – officials please have your licence membership cards available to present to security. Coaches/Team Managers please pick up your accreditation on the first day at the desk at the entrance. NO passes will be issued on the day – please ensure that your club has applied for the correct number of passes.

Swimmers may bring in food for their own personal use.
