Patryk Przyczyna and Austyn Manley left a lasting mark on the 2026 British Swimming Championships, held a few days ago at the London Aquatics Centre, by breaking multiple national age-group records in the backstroke events. The former, a 15-year-old swimmer from Eastbourne, excelled in the 50 and 100m backstroke with unprecedented performances for his age group. The latter, representing Repton, made his statement in the 200m backstroke by erasing a benchmark that had stood for more than a decade.
