world championship team predictions - how did we do?

So how did we do, well of the 21 swimmers confirmed after the trials, we correctly predicted 17 not bad eh? Well lets put it in perspective. Of the 28 confirmed swims (including relays) announced, we only got 19, and indeed predicted a total of 60 swims, meaning, at best, we were only 30% right. Some of our predictions may be confirmed in the second set of selections on 24th June, and we will revisit these predictions then!

Names in red are those confirmed in the British team on 15th April. Those in italics were not available for selection for one reason or another.
