Scarlett Mew Jensen (Dive London) has shown her potential by reaching the final of the 1m and 3m Springboard events at the World Junior Championships and will go into the Seven Nations event eager to continue her development.
City of Leeds’ William Hallam and Anthony Harding reached the finals at the British National Diving Cup in Plymouth at the start of the year.
The Brits have won the title for three years in a row and for Team Leader Julian Bellan it is a great opportunity for the young divers to prove they have what it takes to compete against the continent’s best divers.
“For the last three seasons we have topped the medal table, however, this year we expect tough opposition from Switzerland and Germany,” Bellan said.
