Last updated

The British swimming champions over 1500 metres freestyle, formerly the (Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) National Championships) are listed below. [1] [2]

Contents

The event was originally contested over the mile and then 1,650 yards and then switched to the metric conversion of 1,500 metres in 1971. Throughout much of the history of the event it was contested by men only because the women competed in the 800 metres freestyle but more recently both events are now contested by both sexes.

The most successful male and female competitors in the history of the event are Graeme Smith with seven titles, and Amelie Blocksidge and Danielle Huskisson with two each. Daniel Jervis has won the most consecutive titles, six from 2018 to 2024. The current champions (2024) are Jervis and Blocksidge.
