The 14-year-old Simmonds and 11-time Paralympic champion David Roberts will be the headline acts at the first international meet since Beijing.

Simmonds is in good form having broken the 400m freestyle world record in her category at the national championships last month.

"I've done some cool things since Beijing but I've been training hard recently and it'll be great to compete against some of the international girls again," said the Walsall-born swimmer, who will compete in the S6 100m freestyle.

"I'm in good shape and excited about having the opportunity to compete at such a high profile event in front of a home crowd."
