The calendar year 2026 may not bring a World Championships but we will be treated to the Commonwealth Games, European Championships, Pan Pacific Championships and Asian Games over the course of the next eleven months.
Before we get to that point, however, we’ll see how swimmers fare at benchmark meets taking place around the world.
Japan, Australia and Great Britain are among the key meet hosts for February so stay tuned for meet coverage as the month unfolds.
As always, let me know in the comments of any meets I may have inadvertently missed.
