1816: So, Britain's participation in the 2010 European Aquatics Championships concludes, rather tamely, with a triceps twinge. However, let that take nothing away from a week which has brought 18 medals for British swimmers and a diving bronze in the women's synchro on top of that. Mightily successful, but there are still issues to be raised and things to be improved in the coming months and years.

More of that on the blog on Monday - for the time being, I leave you with live diving just getting under way online (for UK users) and on the red button, or you can take your pick from a wealth of highlights on BBC Sport's swimming pages. Enjoy.

1811: We are told Britain's Blake Aldridge is out of the 10m platform diving final with another triceps injury, following in the armsteps of former synchro partner Tom Daley, who withdrew from the Euros with an identical injury on Saturday. So much for all that good fortune the swimmers have been enjoying.

From Jack Ward on 606: "The stand-out for me is the great strength on Britain's women's side, Top of the women's medal table and un-tapered."

1756: If you fancy studying that relay disqualification again - the one that handed Britain's medley women gold over Russia - then you can now watch the race on demand (if you're in the UK).

1753: Meanwhile, you can be educated on the merits of cliff diving by Aldridge, who is far more than just a platform diver, don't you know.

1750: Intriguingly, the start list for the 10m platform has been altered and is now devoid of any British involvement, with GB's Max Brick listed as a reserve. To use an old journalistic standby, confusion reigns. Yours truly is checking it out.

1745: Blake Aldridge is diving for Britain in the European 10m platform final - where Tom Daley would have been defending his title, had he not been injured - in around 15 minutes' time. Stick with me to watch that online if you're in the UK, and it's also on the red button.

Injured diver Tom Daley: "I went for a scan last night and there's no tear in my triceps so hopefully I'll be able to dive next week at the Youth Olympic Games. I fly to Singapore on Monday and then after that I go to Arizona for the junior World Championships. Then I'm home for 10 days to start my A Levels, before I go to the Commonwealth Games on 21 September."

Liam Tancock: "We've got a 50% Devon team here in the medley relay! Britain's had a great meet here, picking up lots of medals and that's a good way to finish it with five medals tonight."

Simon Burnett: I'm really happy with all the splits, we all got a little better tonight, we have to go away with that and keep improving."

From Tiger Rose on 606: "Great swim from Adlington. Really hope it's a turning point for her now so she can handle the pressure going forward to London 2012. At the end of the day true champions triumph after a period of adversity."

Ben Titley, part of GB coaching team: "You can always have better performances but on the flip side we've had performances which could easily have gone the other way, where we could have come fourth but got a medal. We're in a great position two years out from London and everybody's doing a great job in British swimming.

"Fran Halsall is a tremendous athlete, she's got a great programme back in Liverpool and the staff there have made her the athlete she is now."

1730: This has been an electric session, and an outstanding championships for a supposedly unrested British team, especially the women. Look out for my blog on the British team's performance here, coming up on Monday, plus we'll have a look back at where all the medals were won. And I do hope you're sticking around for Blake Aldridge in the diving in around half an hour - I know I am.

1728: A procession to gold for France with Russia back in second, and the men's medley relay ends with Britain back in fifth. Two disqualifications to get them onto the podium is probably asking a bit much. Still, I don't think many British swimming fans will be complaining about the Sunday they've just seen. (That said, there was a disqualification - Germany are out, so GB are up to fourth.)

1725: The men's medley relay is well under way and it looks like France all the way. Russia and Italy are behind them with GB still in touch.

From Lorraine O'Connor on Twitter: "Russia were disqualified as they went too early on the final takeover. Given how close it was, it probably made the difference."

1722: Not to be outdone by their counterparts in Budapest, Britain have won five medals so far on day one of the Paralympic Swimming World Championships in Eindhoven. Ellie Simmonds has the only gold, as mentioned earlier, in a world record time of 5:27.64. There was silver for Matt Whorwood in the men's S6 400m freestyle and also for Paralympic champion Dave Roberts, who was surprisingly beaten by Croatia's Mikhovil Spanja in the S7 400m freestyle.

Fran Halsall, part of the GB women's relay team: "This has been brilliant. Last time I came to the Europeans I got one medal, so to come away with five is incredible. It was a big challenge for me getting up and coming down again after the medals, but I can't wait to swim again at the Commonwealths now, and we'll have a good chance in this race there."

Gemma Spofforth: "We wanted to win it in our own way and I'm a little bit disappointed that we didn't."

Kate Haywood: "I thought I was going to come here and get no medals so to get two in one session, I'm so happy."

Amy Smith: "That was nervewracking, I've not been in a position like that before. I was nervous but did what I could. We got the gold and that's what matters."

1715: The men's 4x100m medley relay is coming up, as the disqualified Russian women's team file past the BBC crew poolside in Hungary, each of them in tears. This will be the last race of the European Championships. Gold will be a big, big ask for Britain, but a medal is not out of the question.

1713: Not sure why precisely Russia were disqualified, by the way. I'll keep an ear out and let you know as and when.

1711: My goodness, gracious me. Russia have been disqualified and Britain have been handed the women's medley relay gold! You have to wonder how many black cats, four-leafed clovers etc the British women have been stashing away this week. That's not the back-door route to gold, that's breaking in through the skylight.

1710: It's Amy Smith swimming the final, freestyle leg for Britain, but she can't quite overhaul the narrow lead Russia preserve for gold. Silver for Britain, bronze for Sweden. Less than half a second in it for gold. (We're waiting for that result to be confirmed, though.)

1708: Fran Halsall, handed the butterfly leg despite not being particularly thrilled about it, finds herself locked in battle with Russia for the lead. Neck and neck here...

1706: Gemma Spofforth hands over to Kate Haywood and gives Britain a commanding early lead.

From alfie on 606: "OK, Pellegrini didn't swim, but a 4.04 after the week Becky Adlington's had... made my day too."

1705: Britain's team here is Gemma Spofforth, Fran Halsall, Kate Haywood and Amy Smith. Watch out for Sweden as challengers.

1704: Becky Adlington also says how much she wished Federica Pellegrini had been in that final alongside her (see Karen Pickering's comments below). "She'd have given me a run for my money," she says. On we go to the medley relays then, starting with the women, where the British team were fastest this morning.

Becky Adlington, European 400m free champion: "That meant so much to me. It's better to come back here smiling than crying like I did after the 800m. That was such a tough race, it's all mental and my head was messed up - I knew I could go faster than that.

"I've got to stop worrying about other things - I just relaxed then and really enjoyed that race. The pressure has been huge but I'm not that type of person, I keep myself to myself. Everybody's expecting so much of me, I don't want to let people down but I let myself down when I think about everybody else who I'm letting down.

"I was worried for Jo Jackson this morning, she got out of the heat and was struggling to breathe with her asthma problems. It's so frustrating for her, she knows she can do so much better than that. She's gone off to see the doctor now."

BBC commentator Karen Pickering: "Federica Pellegrini, who pulled out of the 400m, may be sitting in the stands regretting having done that. Because this really is a turning point for Becky Adlington.

"Pellegrini is the world champion and record-holder and if she'd been involved, that would have made Adlington more nervous. Without Pellegrini, Adlington knew at the very least she was going to get a medal, she was much more relaxed."

BBC commentator Steve Parry: "The main emotion I saw from Rebecca Adlington there was one of relief. This might be the turning point for her. To be able to turn round seventh place on your best event to winning European gold shows how tough this girl is."

1654: Heading into the final 100m Adlington begins to make a move, shaving a second off the deficit on Etienne. By the last 50m Adlington is six hundredths ahead, and it is Rebecca Adlington who goes on to claim a beautifully paced gold medal. What a way to come back after her earlier disappointment, and what a huge smile on her face too. Etienne is second with Lotte Friis third and Jo Jackson back in fifth.

1651: Adlington settles into third place early in the women's 400m freestyle, with Jackson fifth, led by France's Ophelie Cyriell Etienne in a blistering time.

1648: Out come Adlington and Jackson for the women's 400m freestyle. Remember, the inside information we have is that Becky Adlington has a far better chance in this race than she did in the 800m freestyle, where she finished well down the ranks. She was fastest in this morning's heats, for a start.

1644: Interesting talk from former world champion James Gibson on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, who tells Steve Parry that France are "out in front on genetics" - the sheer size of some of their swimmers, Camille Lacourt and Yannick Agnel being two that spring to mind, is handing them the advantage. Not entirely sure what the British solution to that is. Talent ID for would-be parents of swimmers?

1642: What a finish Hungary are having to their home event - that's two one-twos in the last two events. France and Russia lead the medal table with seven golds each, but Hungary are just one behind, with Britain in fourth place on four golds. Still time to change that, though: one individual race remains, the women's 400m freestyle featuring GB's Rebecca Adlington and Jo Jackson, which will be upon us after the latest round of medal ceremonies.

1638: Laszlo Cseh is well out in front for his gold medal and David Verraszto comes home second to seal the Hungarian one-two in the men's 400m IM, to the delight of the Budapest crowd. Gal Nevo picks up a medal for Israel, finishing third.

1635: This is a rarity - no British contender in the men's 400m individual medley. Instead, watch out for the Hungarian battle between Laszlo Cseh and David Verraszto.

1633: The big rivals for the British swimmers at October's Commonwealth Games - where they will, of course, split into their home nations - will be the Australians. To see how the Australian team are getting on in their preparations for Delhi, keep an eye on the Pan Pacific Championships which start on Wednesday and feature the United States, another Commonwealth competitor in Canada, Japan and Australia.

1631: Ellie Simmonds has set a new world record on the way to 400m freestyle gold at Paralympic swimming's World Championships in Eindhoven.

Ellen Gandy, 200m fly bronze medallist: "I'm so happy with that. Walking out here was surreal, the sound was amazing and as soon as we dived in I heard the crowd start roaring. It was great experience having that, I haven't swum in a final like that before and I'm happy I could pull through. This success is brilliant and hopefully we'll finish strongly.

"I'm 19 today. I opened my cards a couple of days ago - they were in my case and I couldn't resist - but a bronze medal is an awesome present."

1627: After Saturday, which was entirely devoid of British medals, the team are more than making up for it here. If I were to go out on a limb, I might suggest there are four more British medals in the offing in the closing four races.

1623: Ellen Gandy isn't particularly quick off the blocks but she's soon back in the mix. Hungary's Zsuzsanna Jakabos leads with 50m to go as Gandy moves up to third, but Katinka Hosszu steals in for gold ahead of team-mate Jakabos while Ellen Gandy holds on for that 200m fly bronze. Three medals in four races. Happy birthday Ellen, 19 today.

1619: Here's GB's Ellen Gandy, getting ready for the women's 200m butterfly final. The noise for Hungary's Katinka Hosszu and team-mate Zsuzsanna Jakabos is overwhelming at the Budapest pool. Gandy is not one of the better-known British names but she qualified second-fastest for this final and has every chance of a medal.

1616: Three races down and Fran Halsall is on the podium collecting her bronze. Coming up: Ellen Gandy in the women's 200m butterfly final alongside Hungary's Katinka Hosszu, then Rebecca Adlington and Jo Jackson in the women's 400m freestyle final, and finally the last two races of these championships - the two medley relays. Britain's women were fastest in medley relay heats earlier on Sunday.

1613: Of course, I say two medals in three races, but Britain might have wanted at least one of those to be gold. Keep me posted on 606 with your thoughts. Should Halsall be upset about "only" getting bronze? What does it say for British swimming these days that some medal colours are no longer, apparently, good enough?

1611: Kate Haywood gets the 50m breaststroke silver medal in 31.12, another best time, behind Russia's Yuliya Efimova who becomes European champion in 30.29. Two medals for Britain in three races.

1609: Into the women's 50m breaststroke final we go, following this Hungarian pattern of firing finals at us like there's no tomorrow. GB's Kate Haywood qualified for this final in superb style, in a lifetime best.

Steve Parry, poolside in Hungary: "Fran Halsall walked straight past us, she's not doing any interviews because of the relay coming up. But she was shaking her head and did say, using some other words, that that wasn't very good."

1607: Well, Frederick Bousquet does get the men's 50m freestyle gold but not by very much from Sweden's Stefan Nystrand. Simon Burnett back in eighth for Britain.

1605: Simon Burnett is Britain's representative in the men's 50m freestyle final but it's very hard to look beyond France's Frederick Bousquet for gold in our next race.

1603: Sweden's Therese Alshammar gets a quick start and holds on for women's 50m freestyle gold, Hinkelien Schreuder of the Netherlands finishes second and Fran Halsall gets her fourth medal of the week, a bronze, one hundredth of a second outside silver.

1601: Fran Halsall is becoming, at 20 years of age, a powerhouse of British swimming. Can she win her fourth medal of the week, and Britain's 14th in all? She's up in our first event of Sunday's racing, the women's 50m freestyle final.

From Richard on Twitter: "Can't wait for the 50m free finals, best event on the Olympic program. Halsall and Bousquet are my tips to win."

BBC commentator Karen Pickering: "Britain could certainly get five medals in this session, and there are at least three where GB would be disappointed to miss out."

1557: Listen to BBC Radio 5 live sports extra for updates from poolside both in Hungary and the Netherlands, or you can watch the action live from Budapest on BBC Two and online (if you're in the UK) from 1600 BST, i.e. in a couple of minutes' time. Then we'll have the diving on BBC red button and online (again, for UK users).

1554: There's also action on the first day of Paralympic swimming's World Championships in Eindhoven, and I'll bring you the latest from that event too. Among Britons competing in this session are Paralympic champion Ellie Simmonds in the S6 400m freestyle, where she is world record holder, and Stephanie Millward is up against South African legend Natalie du Toit in the 100m butterfly.

There are also medal chances for Matt Whorwood (S6 men's freestyle), Jim Anderson (S2 men's 50m freestyle), Tom Young (S8 100m backstroke), and Fran Williamson (women's S3 50m free).

1552: By the way, stick around after the swimming because we'll have diving action, with GB's Blake Aldridge in the final of the men's 10m platform. (Remember, Tom Daley pulled out through injury on Saturday.) Britain already has a diving medal to its name this week and, if you're in the UK, you can watch the highlights of Monique Gladding and Megan Sylvester taking bronze in the 10m synchro.

From Ch2bjs on 606: "Thirteen medals already, maybe a few more to come. This despite the fact the Europeans are not the major focus for the British team but they will be for all the other teams. I look forward to the Commonwealths with interest."

1547: One, last session then in which to lob your thoughts at me on 606 or via Twitter (where I'm @BBCSport_Ollie). What do you make of the week's swimming you've seen? What are your predictions for October's Commonwealth Games and beyond? How will the home nations' women fare against Australia in Delhi? And will Liam Tancock ever be quiet about those new shoes of his with his name on them?

From GB swimmer Fran Halsall on Twitter: "50m free and medley relay! Trying to end the meet on a high."

Said, by a woman who has already won a gold and two silvers in Hungary, as though she hasn't had the greatest of weeks.

1542: Big British hopes? Look no further than the first race, where GB's Fran Halsall locks horns with Sweden's Therese Alshammar for women's 50m freestyle gold. Kate Haywood has a sniff of a medal in the 50m breaststroke, Rebecca Adlington is tipped by BBC expert (and Athens 2004 bronze medallist) Steve Parry to win the 400m freestyle, and then British teams go in both the men's and women's 100m medley relays.

1539: This being the concluding session in the pool, there are no semi-finals or any of that nonsense. Every race coming up is a final and there are no fewer than eight medals at stake - seven of which will be contested by Britain.

1537: Hello, everybody. For the last time at this year's European Championships, settle yourselves down and get ready for some swimming action.
