Swimming New Zealand has announced a 12-strong team to contest July's FINA World Championship in Budapest. Swimming New Zealand national head coach Jerry Olszewski was pleased with the make-up and promise of the team. "The quality of performances at the national championships was better than expectation and it was very pleasing especially from the young swimmers," Olszewski. "The young swimmers like Gabrielle, Bobbi, Hayley McIntosh and Latacia Transom, and some younger male swimmers like Lewis Clareburt are exciting for the future. As well as the team selected for the World Championships, a further 10 swimmers were named for the World University Games to be held in Taipei in August.
