Speaking ahead of his first event as the new Aquatics GB swimming head coach, Steven Tigg said: “We are really looking forward to bringing this team together and getting some valuable early-season racing under the belt as we begin a fresh Olympic cycle towards LA – with the first major focus being about building towards next summer’s World Aquatics Championships in Singapore.
