Britain, who originally were not going to send any swimmers to the Youth Olympic Games, will send a token team after all, according to UK online site morethanthegame.co.uk.

British Swimming, the national sports association responsible, had prioritised the European Junior Championships in Helsinki (July 7-18) and European Championships in Budapest (Aug 4-15).

In a change of mind, British Swimming will now send two swimmers — Ellie Faulkner, the reigning European junior open water champion, and Rachael Kelly, a national youth champion.
