About Us
The Essex Swimming League (ESL) is an annual swimming competition organised between Essex-based clubs.
The aim of the league is to promote competitive swimming and team participation through the coordination of an annual swimming competition. This usually takes place between the months of September and June each year. Each
season consists of four galas with each individual gala result contributing to an overall final league position. Clubs interested in joining the league for the next season should apply by 1st September 2026.
2026 Teams & Fixtures
For the 2026 season there will be two divisions with five teams in each division. The following clubs are competing this year:
Basildon, Braintree, Brentwood, Colchester, Newham, Runnymede, Witham Dolphins, Harwich, Halstead, Hornchurch.
In season promotion/relegation is in effect so teams will change divisions as the season progresses.
Gala Dates
The League fixture dates and pool bookings for the 2026 season are outlined below. Allocation of pools to divisions and finalisation of host/supporting clubs will occur after each round when promotion/relegation changes are known.
All galas are planned as level 3 meets with AOE in operation. Host clubs should plan accordingly.
