Hundreds of swimming clubs across the country are gearing up for the 2018/19 National Arena Swimming League campaign, which gets under way this Saturday.

Three rounds will be held between now and Christmas across all regional divisions, culminating in this season’s finals which will be held on March 2-3 2019.

Western League club Plymouth Leander are the defending champions, having scored a record 427 points to win the title at Cardiff International Pool back in April.

Plymouth’s team, which featured six swimmers who had just returned from the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, beat Guildford City and Millfield, who were champions in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

In the 2017/18 B Final, City of Cardiff made sure of a Western League double as they scored 390 points to claim a convincing victory over Northampton and Camden Swiss Cottage.
