CITY of Derby swimmers Adam Peaty and Danielle Lowe will be heading to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this summer.
The pair have been included in the England team for the Games, which start in July.
And they will be joined by Ripley's Molly Renshaw, who has been spared the heartache she endured when she missed out on a place in the Great Britain team for the London Olympics two years ago.
Peaty's inclusion comes as no surprise. The Uttoxeter star was in brilliant form last month at the British Gas Championships, held at the Tollcross pool where this summer's main event will be staged.
The 19-year-old produced a string of outstanding performances, claiming a gold and two silver medals.
The first silver came in the 200m breaststroke, in which he was beaten only Scotland's Michael Jamieson, and another Scot, Ross Murdoch, edged him out of top slot in the 100m breaststroke. Peaty gained a measure of revenge by landing the 50m title.
Lowe, who trains with Peaty under head coach Mel Marshall at the Derby club, also performed well at the British Championships, particularly in the individual medley events.
Originally from Bebington on the Wirral, the 19-year-old has moved to Derby where she will start her university studies in September.
Renshaw's selection comes as a pleasant 18th birthday present.
She failed to make the official qualifying time for the 200m breaststroke last month but her performances were sufficiently impressive to persuade England selectors that she was worthy of a slot in the team.
There is no place in the squad for University of Derby student Jack Burnell, who finished third in the trials, outside the qualifying time.
