After a promising opening night in London, five further swimmers pencilled their names onto the team sheet for the Tokyo Olympics, while the young guns continued to impress on the second day of the British Swimming Selection Trials.

A year later than planned, the battle for spots on the squad that will join the Olympic melee in July is underway in London at the British Swimming Selection Trials. Here’s a status update for selection.

If the Olympics of 2021 go ahead, and while we all hope and expect that to be the case, they remain a little in the balance, we know who four of those wearing TeamGB swimming caps will be. But as Britain’s Olympic Trials loom, there remains the small matter of picking the rest of the squad to journey to the far east in July in search of Olympic gold.
