Summer Splash ’26

On 13th and 14th June 2026, a large group of Leicester Neptune swimmers took part in the City of Leicester Summer Splash open meet at Braunstone.

There was a busy schedule of events and high standards, with competitors representing City of Leicester, Braunstone, Leicester Penguins, Corby, Rushden, Lichfield, Warwick University and others.

It was a long, hot weekend poolside and Neptune swimmers rose to the occasion with some great performances, personal bests, county times – with, of course, some near misses too.

Most impressive was the way our swimmers conducted themselves the whole time. Always cheerful, always energetically supporting each other (and their City of Leicester teammates), and ready to have fun – we had creative tattooing and setting up the shadow club ‘Better than Neptunes SC’… They represented themselves and Neptune in the best possible way – so well done all!

Special shout out to Jake D who competed in his first gala having only started with us a few weeks ago. His first competitive race was 50 fly! Well done Jake, hope to see racing again soon!

Big thanks to all the parents and volunteers too for their time and support
