Great Britain retained their top team title at the 11th World Down Syndrome Swimming & Artistic Championships in Antalya, Turkiye. The Championships were held over the week 19-26 March 2024 as part of the World Trisomy Games comprising 8 sports – athletics, basketball, futsal, gymnastics, judo, swimming, tennis and table tennis.

Down Syndrome Swimming Great Britain took a team of 29 swimmers (15 male and 14 female including 2 female Mosaic swimmers) to Antalya to compete at the championships with 25 countries taking part at the event in Southern Turkey. There was a total of 95 male swimmers (including 5 Mosaic) and 72 female swimmers (including 10 Mosaic).

This was the first event to take place at the very recently constructed 50m swimming pool at the Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey.

Thanks to the superb efforts of everyone involved they came home with an impressive haul of 31 medals, numerous World and European records and the Best Team 2024 trophy.
