Swim England were engaging with more than 600 youngsters during the coronavirus pandemic but had to significantly cut that number down when selected a final squad.

Both Page and Forconi have been fortunate enough to be part of the junior team this season.

Havant & Waterlooville Swimming Club member Page has been picked for the 200m freestyle while Portsmouth Northsea's Forconi will go over the 400m freestyle distance.

The first camp is scheduled for this month and additional online camps will continue in the new year with coronavirus restrictions currently preventing competitive activity.
