The duo will also be competing at the Swim England National Summer Meet, alongside Witney’s 18-year-old Erin Stewart (50m backstroke), 15-year-old pair Annabel Barnard (50m and 100m butterfly) and Ayan Varia (50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke), and 13-year-old Mason Amiri (100m and 200m backstroke, and 100m breaststroke).
Elford will be in the 50m butterfly and Lever in the 200m, 400m, 800m and 1,500m front crawl.
Head coach Chantal Clavaud said: “This is an amazing accomplishment for a small town club to have six swimmers competing across many different events across the two weeks.”
