Controversial swimmer Nick D’Arcy was named in Australia’s World Cup series team on Tuesday, continuing his rehabilitation after an assault conviction.
D’Arcy, who escaped jail in March for breaking a team-mate’s jaw, was named in the 20-strong team along with former world record-holder Leisel Jones, who skipped this month’s World Championships in Rome.
D’Arcy, Jones and Libby Trickett will compete in the series’ two European legs in Stockholm and Berlin with another 10 swimmers joining the team for the final event in Singapore on November 21-22.
D’Arcy made his return to high-level competition at last week’s Australian short-course championships in Hobart.
Australia are looking to bounce back from a disappointing performance in Rome when supersuit-wearing competitors pulled off a series of record-breaking upsets.
Australian World Cup series team for Stockholm (November 10-11) and Berlin (November 14-15):
Matthew Abood, Nicholas D’Arcy, Ashley Delaney, Geoff Huegill, Robert Hurley, Lachlan Staples, Felicity Galvez, Marieke Guehrer, Leisel Jones, Libby Trickett
Team for Singapore (November 21-22):
Matthew Abood, Daniel Arnamnart, Leith Brodie, Nicholas D’Arcy, Ashley Delaney, Geoff Huegill, Robert Hurley, Adam Pine, Christian Sprenger, Lachlan Staples, Blair Evans, Ellen Fullerton, Felicity Galvez, Marieke Guehrer, Samantha Hamill, Leisel Jones, Jessicah Schipper, Emily Seebohm, Amy Smith, Libby Trickett
