DOUBLE Olympic silver medallist Jazz Carlin will make her competitive return to the pool following her Rio heroics in Sheffield tomorrow.

Swindon’s Carlin, who now lives in Bradford on Avon, is one of five members of the Team GB Olympic swimming team to be competing at the four-day ASA National Winter Meet, at the Ponds Forge Centre.

Carlin memorably clinched Britain’s second swimming medal of the Rio Games in August, moments after Adam Peaty had secured gold in the men’s 100m breaststroke, as she followed home the USA’s Katie Ledecky in the women’s 400m freestyle.

The 26 year old, who trains at the University of Bath, followed it up by repeating the feat a few days later in the 800m freestyle.

Carlin has since returned to hard training ahead of next year’s World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, in July, with the 2018 Commonwealth Games on Australia’s Gold Coast as well as the 2020 Tokyo Olympics also on the distant horizon for the Wiltshire swimmer.

She will be joined in Sheffield by fellow Olympians Ben Proud and fellow Bath-based competitor Chris Walker-Hebborn, with top British competitors Cameron Kurle, Tim Shuttleworth, Molly Renshaw, Jessica Fullalove and European Junior gold medallists Tom Derbyshire and Taz Pugh also entered.

The ASA National Winter Meet is a short-course championships which takes place over four days, starting today, and is the final competition in the English calendar Each day will be split into morning heats and evening finals sessions, with Carlin’s competition beginning with the 800m freestyle on Friday, followed by the 400m on Saturday.
