The British squad for the upcoming dual meet between the Canadian and British University all-star teams has been released, with the competition just over two weeks away.
The meet, scheduled for July 3-4 in Loughborough, England, will be contested in a timed final format in long course meters over two days, with 51 British University (BUCS) swimmers set to battle with 40 Canadian University (U SPORTS) swimmers.
The British team will be comprised of swimmers from eight schools, led by Loughborough which will have 12 men and six women competing. Edinburgh will also have six men on the roster, while Swansea will have five women.
The team will be headlined by the Loughborough duo of Sienna Robinson, who is coming off posting a time of 1:08.46 in the women’s 100 breast this past winter (and owns a PB of 1:07.90 from 2024), and Reuben Rowbotham-Keating, who is a 1:48/3:55 LCM 200/400 freestyler on the men’s side (1:45/3:48 SCM).

See the full Canadian roster here.“The British squad will have ‘home field’ advantage, but the Canadian squad is hungry for this opportunity, as for many it’s their first international tour.”
The British coaching staff will feature Loughborough’s Andy Wallace, Edinburgh’s Chris Jones and Danny Kirkham, and Swansea’s Owen Richards. Jones has notably coached with Ireland at the Olympics in 2016, and he’s also served on the Scottish staff at three Commonwealth Games.
Although it’s unclear how the British team was selected, eligibility was limited to swimmers who did not compete at the Paris Olympics and are not scheduled to compete at the World University Games or the 2025 World Aquatics Championships.
