Leicester Neptune dive into the new season
On Saturday 5 September 2026, a small but committed team of Neptune swimmers hit the water for the LASA Inter-Clubs gala, held at Braunstone.
The relay-only programme presented an opportunity to blow off the cobwebs and get sprinting following a long summer – ideal preparation for upcoming open meets and the Autumn league.
The action was full on with each event doubled-up due to the number of teams taking part. Despite a reduced squad, Leicester Neptune finished a creditable 7th, which bodes well for the upcoming season.
As always, Neptune swimmers demonstrated their excellent spirit, supporting their teammates all the way. Congratulations to Caitlin S who made her Leicester Neptune debut! We hope to see you back competing for us soon!
Thanks to all the parents and families who supported the team too – it always makes a difference.
The competition season starts in earnest over the next couple of months. Please check out our Events Calendar.

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
You can see all the results here.
Winter League 2026 – Round 3 report
On Saturday 18th April 2026 Leicester Neptune hit the water for the Final Round of the Leicestershire and District Winter League at Nuneaton.
On the back of strong results in the previous two rounds, our league position ensured we qualified for the ‘B Final’ – a step up from last year, where we competed in the ‘C Final’. This meant tougher opposition and faster swimming.
Neptune’s junior and senior swimmers rose to the challenge superbly, with excellent performances across all the age groups. There were several wins and top 3 results – a particular mention must go to the dominance of our male open relay team, which won both the showcase freestyle and medley relays – a really spectacular performance.
Competitive throughout the night, Neptune finished fifth. For a long time we were fourth, but just got pipped by Market Harborough at the end.
Our swimmers have made excellent progress over the past year and results like this demonstrate Neptune’s continuing upward trajectory – all of them should be really proud of what they have achieved.
Of course, they cannot do this without the ongoing support of their parents, families and friends – so a big thank you to all. And to the Neptune team managers, poolside helpers and officials who ensure everything runs smoothly on poolside.
Neptune will be back in competitive action soon. Saturday 9th May is Round 2 of the Diddy League, before our Club Championships begin, with round 1 on Friday 15th May at Parklands. More at our Events Calendar
