Olympic silver medallist Michael Jamieson is the standout name in a 19-strong Great Britain squad for next month’s World Short Course Swimming Championships in Istanbul.

Including Glaswegian Jamieson, British Swimming have named 16 members of the London 2012 team in the squad for the 12-16 December event. Also in are Inverurie’s world silver medallist Hannah Miley, four-times world short course medallist Fran Halsall and Olympic finalists Robbie Renwick of 
Aberdeen, Jemma Lowe, Andrew Willis, Lizzie Simmonds and 
Sophie Allen.

Bath ITC’s David McNulty, who will be the head coach for the competition, said: “Anytime our swimmers are up against the best in the world means it’s an important event.

“Not everyone will be tapered and some swimmers will be in the hard stage of their training cycle, so they will have to swim tough but I know our swimmers will give their best on the day.”

Team: Craig Benson; Daniel Fogg; Michael Jamieson; Matthew Johnson; Ieuan Lloyd; Roberto Pavoni; Robbie Renwick; Chris Walker-Hebborn; Andrew Willis; Sophie Allen; Jazmin Carlin; Georgia Davies; Eleanor Faulkner; Fran Halsall; Georgia Hohmann; Jemma Lowe; Hannah Miley; Elizabeth Simmonds; Rebecca Turner.
