London medallists at World Masters Championships in Gwangju

The 18th edition of the FINA World Masters Championships took place in Gwangju, South Korea from the 5th to 18th August 2019.

The format of this competition in recent editions and continuing forward is for the meet to take place in the same venue as the World Championships themselves, a week or two prior to the close of that elite level competition – so a fantastic opportunity for Swim England London Masters swimmers to race in the same pool as Adam Peaty, James Guy and the rest of the British Swimming team.

Swim England London were delighted and proud to see so many of our Masters swimmers competing in Gwangju, and showcasing yet again the strength of Masters swimming in London with a large haul of medals as well as two Championship Records! Congratulations to all those who took part. A full list of our medalists can be viewed below:
