Swimmers to get funding for LA 2028 Paralympics

Fifteen Paralympic champions are among 36 British swimmers who will get some funding from UK Sport 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 - Paralympics GB'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."

The 2028 Paralympics will take place in Los Angeles between 15 and 27 August 2028.
