British Swimming have confirmed the 30 Swimmers who will compete at the World Championships in Russia later this year.
Eight swimmers had already assured themselves of selection by meeting the automatic qualifying standard at the British Championships last week, but for the remainder this was the news they had been waiting all week to hear.
Britain’s selectors face some interesting decisions as they finalise the world championships team that will go to Kazan. Principally is the emphasis to be on medals or not?
Five days of racing at the British Championships and World Championship Trials are now over, with some remarkable performances and eight swimmers guaranteed a berth at the World Championships. Bob, Katie and Steve are at the London Aquatic Centre to review the week’s events.
Trials for the World Championships are underway in London. As events unfold we’ll be keeping tabs on how the team shapes up based on the selection policy.
Another year, another set of trials, and of course another selection policy. As Britain’s swimmers ready themselves to spin the Russian roulette wheel in the hope of a ticket to Kazan for the World Championships, these are the criteria they will have to meet if they are going to get there.
