2481 days. That was how long it had been since his last competitive 400m freestyle when James Guy stepped on the block at the City of Sheffield Winter meet to race the event again.

With just a few weeks until action kicks off at the London Aquatic Centre, Aquatics GB have confirmed that all entries for the British Championships were accepted and released the first draft of the programme, with a few swims of note included.
