Amelie Blocksidge Among 28-Strong British Team For European Junior Championships

A 28-strong British team has been announced for the European Aquatics Junior Swimming Championships which take place in July in Samorin, Slovakia.

The six-day meet – for athletes born between 2007 and 2011 – will take place at the x-bionic sphere from 1-6 July, following the staging of the second European Aquatics U23 Swimming Championships at the same venue a week earlier.

Amelie Blocksidge is among those selected to the British team based on performances at April’s Aquatics GB Swimming Championships who won the 800/1500 double at the 2024 edition in Vilnius, Lithuania. The 16-year-old also completed the double at the national championships in London last month.
A host of further 2025 medallists from London are included in the roster for Samorin, featuring Jack Brown, Jasmine Carter, Blythe Kinsman, Filip Nowacki, Amalie Smith and Hollie Wilson.

Euan Dale (Performance Pathway Lead – Swimming) said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for the next generation to test themselves on the international stage. The focus will be on growth, development, and embracing the experience as a team.

“We’re especially excited about the relays – nothing captures the spirit of Great Britain more than athletes coming together with a team-first mentality to take on the best that Europe has to offer.”
