The BBC signs a two-year deal for coverage of the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships, starting with this month's event.

The BBC has signed a new two-year deal to broadcast live coverage of the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships.

The annual competition is staged at the London Aquatics Centre and this year will double up as qualifiers for the World Championships in Singapore this summer.

As part of the deal, the BBC will show every finals event live on iPlayer and the BBC Sport app, while the morning heats sessions will be available on the Aquatics GB YouTube channel.

Drew Barrand, chief executive of Aquatics GB, said: "We are delighted to announce this ongoing partnership with BBC Sport as part of a long-term, multi-platform approach to the upcoming Aquatics GB Swimming Championships. It is crucial that we create consistent ways for the millions of fans across the country to be able to witness world-class competition from our outstanding athletes.

"The Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games provided many unforgettable moments in the pool, and the next couple of years are so exciting because we could see the stars of the future, as well as our major household names, putting in eye-catching performances at the London Aquatics Centre.

"I would like to thank the BBC for their commitment to making sure as many people as possible can watch those performances which, combined with the digital distribution framework we have put in place, will help everyone to engage with our thrilling sport and get to know the faces who could be picking up World Championship medals in the summer and beyond."

This year's competition is scheduled to take place from April 15 to 20.
