"This event comes at a perfect time," said British Swimming national performance director Chris Spice.
"A major international event at an iconic 2012 Olympic venue - as a team we couldn't have asked for better."

The team includes world champions Adam Peaty and James Guy, plus individual world medallists Jazz Carlin and Siobhan-Marie O'Connor among other world, European and Commonwealth medallists.
