All the results from Lochore Meadows and Dambuster
It was a busy weekend of action in the Super Series, with Youth and Junior athletes competing in Scotland, while the paratriathletes were in action at Rutland Water in the East Midlands.
Youth and Junior
Lochore Meadows on the banks of Loch Ore was the venue for the British Elite Aquathlon Championships and round three of the Youth and Junior Super Series for 2026. With only two rounds to go of the season, all important points were up for grabs in the race to be crowned Super Series champion for 2026. Athletes competed in three races of varying distances on the day, with results from all three events combined to create the overall standings.
It was also the first race in the new team competition, with regions battling to take the inaugural crown come season end.
Youth A category
Athletes in this category competed over the following distances:
- 800m swim followed by a 1km swim
- 500m swim followed by a 1.5km run
- 300m swim followed by a 2km run
A win and two second places was enough to take the overall win in the female category for Ellie Birchall from the South West, finishing ahead of Ava Smith from Scotland who took the win in the first race of the day. Emilia Waugh finished the day strongly with a win in the final race of the day to move herself onto the podium and into third position.
A full house of first, second and third places was enough for Tymek Chmielowski from Scotland to claim first position ahead of Tom Board from the South West who had consistent top three finishes in all three races. There was a tie for third place so the final podium place was shared by William Hughes from the Midlands and Ross Allan from Scotland whose win in the last race propelled him into joint third place.

Isabel Moore had a consistent day to end up finishing in third place overall while representing the Midlands.
In the open category, Oscar Chirnside from Scotland took the overall win with two first place finishes and a third in the three races. It was a Scottish one-two as Tristan Robin took second place overall, while consistent racing meant Jamie Lonergan from the North East finished in third place overall.
