Britain have named their 40-strong squad for next month's Fina World Swimming Championships in Shanghai.

 

British Swimming national performance director Michael Scott described the team as "one of the most competitive British teams ever assembled". Scott added: "There will be some big challenges ahead this summer - but the squad has real talent and strength and is best placed to overcome these." "It's a healthy mix of experienced performers on the world stage as well as a group of exciting youngsters who will be looking to establish themselves on the team." The squad are set to finalise their preparations at a holding camp in Osaka, Japan before arriving in Shanghai.
