Carl won two individual gold medals and a team gold medal at the Great British Masters Swimming Championships, taking first place in the 50m freestyle and 100m individual medley, as well as the team sprint relay. He also secured a silver medal in the 50m breaststroke.

Carl swam the first leg for Warrington Masters Swimming Club’s 4x50m sprint relay team, which broke the UK and GB record, to bring home the gold.

The Great British Masters Swimming Championships take place annually at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield, bringing together some of the country’s top Masters swimmers.

Carl will now go on to represent Cheshire at the National Championships, before turning his attention to the World Masters Championships in Budapest in 2027.

Congratulations, Carl, and good luck for the next competition!
