Kindred won gold at the 2004 Paralympics

Sixteen of the 18-strong team were medallists at the World Championships in Durban last year.

They include champions Natalie Jones, Sascha Kindred and Dave Roberts, while Emma Cattle, Jonathan Fox and Matt Whorwood make their World Cup debuts.

In 2006, Britain was the most successful nation in the pool with five golds, two silvers and two bronzes.

However, a change in the programme means none of the GB swimmers will be defending their titles.

The Paralympic World Cup features swimming, athletics, wheelchair basketball and track cycling.

The swimming events will take place on 12 May at the Manchester Aquatics Centre.

Team GB: Kenny Cairns (Port Glasgow Otters), Claire Cashmore (Kelly College), Emma Cattle (Luton), James Crisp (City of Sheffield), Gareth Duke (Swim Swansea), Jonathan Fox (Newquay Cormorants), David Hill (Kelly College), Liz Johnson (Swim Swansea), Natalie Jones (Colchester Phoenix), Sascha Kindred (Leominster Kingfisher), Rachel Latham (Bolton Metro), Nyree Lewis (Leominster Kingfisher), David Roberts (Swim Swansea), Anthony Stephens (Swim Swansea), Matt Walker (Marple), Louise Watkin (Kelly College), Fran Williamson (Colchester Phoenix), Matt Whorwood (Newquay Cormorants).
