Telegraph.co.uk reports that England has announced their roster for the 2010 Commenwealth Games.
When asked about this years squad England's team leader John Atkinson said "I'm delighted Commonwealth Games England has selected such an impressive contingent of athletes to represent England with 45 swimmers being one of the largest swimming teams in the modern era of the Games."
"It's a full strength England team with tremendous potential. To have so many Olympic and World Championship medallists competing for England will serve the team well as they enter their final preparations for Delhi in October."
Englad also has a very bright future ahead of them as they bring a large group of rookies with them to this years meet.
In regards to the fact that England was able to qualify such a large group of first time swimmers Atkinson said, "We have seen a number of breakthrough performances this season to make the England team and that's exciting for the sport.
"However, it will be tough in Delhi for our swimmers. Australia continues to be a dominant force in world swimming, Canada are riding high after an impressive two years and the likes of New Zealand and South Africa will always challenge for medals.
"For the swimmers, the Commonwealth Games has been the focus of their entire year and I'm excited at our prospects."
