Fifteen Paralympic champions are among 36 British swimmers who will receive UK Sport funding for the 2025 season after a superb display in Paris.
The Aquatics GB Para-swimming World Class Programme (WCP) helps athletes receive opportunities and targeted financial assistance, as well as access to world-class sports science and sports medicine services.
Britain won 18 golds in Paris, seeing them place second in the swimming medal table.
Maisie Summers-Newton, Stephen Clegg, Alice Tai and Poppy Maskill – ParalympicsGB’s most-decorated athlete in Paris – who claimed multiple titles last summer are among those on the programme.
Aquatics GB’s lead for Para-swimming, Adam Clarke, said: “We are looking forward to seeing how those athletes thrive at the start of a new Paralympic cycle, with the support of an outstanding staff team around them.
” We also have a host of young competitors who enjoyed breakthrough Games in Paris and will be looking to develop over this season. “
