Swimmer Martin Bennell's return to national competition aims to inspire other people to get back in the pool. The 49-year-old has qualified for the British national championships, 26 years since his last appearance back in 2000. He will compete in the 50-metre breaststroke and previously won three gold medals at the 2025 Masters World Aquatics Championships.
