World 10km Champion Keri-Anne Payne will lead a nine-strong team into action at the Midmar mile and Midmar 10km race with both taking place in South Africa this weekend.
The British team, powered by British Gas, also features Olympic medallists David Davies and Cassie Patten and European Junior medallist Tom Allen.
The swimmers will compete in the Midmar mile on Sunday 14 February 2010 and then they will be back in action in the Midmar 10km race on Tuesday 16 February.
This will be the first time that many of the athletes have been in competition this year and they will be looking to put in strong performances before the British Gas Swimming Championships 2010 in March.
