British Swimming's national performance director Bill Sweetenham has announced an 18-strong squad for next month's World Championships in Montreal. Swimmers had to post a time equal to or better than last year's world top-10 ranking in Olympic events or top-six ranking in non-Olympic events.
James Gibson and Katy Sexton will defend their 50m breaststroke and 200m backstroke world titles respectively.
Ex-world champion Mark Foster missed out after failing to get the times.
