A strong British Gas GBR Open Water Swimming Team has been selected to compete at the LEN European Championships.
The nine athletes will head to Berlin on Monday to take part in the competition, which runs from 13-17 August.
Included in the team is Tom Allen who won the opening round of the 2014 FINA 10km World Cup series, and Jack Burnell who finished just four seconds off the pace in Portugal.
