Press Office Adrian Wightman said "the swimmers have trained hard and beaten many personal bests in order to qualify for the championships.  Competing against all other swimmers in Yorkshire often means racing against 50 other swimmers all whose times are within a few seconds of each other.  To reach the championships alone is a great achievement and a massive achievement to reach the finals."
