Following a meeting of the British Swimming selectors, the World Class Programme Leadership Team has decided to enact clause G14 of the Selection Policy General Conditions for the 2023 World Swimming Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.
In order to give the British team the best opportunity to achieve performance objectives 2.1i and 2.1ii within the 2023 World Aquatics World Championships selection policy, clause 5.2 will now read as follows:
5.2. “Following the selection of athletes under 5.1, additional selections may be made at the discretion of the PD and the GB Head Coach. As well as other considerations, the PD and GB Head Coach may use the rankings compiled under 5.3 below as a guide to assist the exercise of their discretion. In the event the PD and GB Head Coach are unable to agree then the PD’s selection decision shall be final.”
In all other aspects, the selection policy remains unchanged. This full policy, plus all other swimming selection policies for international competitions in 2023, can be found on the Performance section of the British Swimming website here.
