Stacie Powell and Blake Aldridge have been selected for Team GB following the Diving trials in Leeds this weekend.   They will join Southampton team mate Peter Waterfield who had already been selected.

British Swimming have announced their nominations for the Paralympic Games: Danielle Watts from Oxford and Louise Watkin from Redhill & Reigate have both been nominated.  Congratulations.

Two more athletes from the region have joined Team GB: Olivia Allison and Jenna Randall will compete in the Synchronised Swimming "Duet" events.  Well done to Olivia and Jenna.  More...

Simon Burnett will now also be travelling to Beijing after being selected for the 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay.  Well done Simon.

During the British Championships last week Gemma Spofforth (Portsmouth Northsea) qualified for Team GB in the 100m and 200m Backstroke.  But what about the other disciplines?

Diver Peter Waterfield (Southampton) has already qualified for the 10m Individual Platform with his 8th place finish at the FINA World Cup earlier this year.  The region's divers will be hoping to qualify for the Britain's other places in Manchester on 28th and 29th June.

In Synchronised Swimming, swimmers from Rushmoor will be heading to Beijing for the Olympic Qualification Tournament later this month.

Our potential paralympians will be competing for places at Ponds Forge from 25th to 27th April.
