Team Scotland has named a seven-strong Para-swimming squad for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, headlined by multiple Paralympic medallists Faye Rogers, Toni Shaw, and brothers James and Stephen Clegg. The selection includes three Paralympic champions and three rising talents who have made their mark on the international stage.

The squad features Paris 2024 gold medallist Faye Rogers, who won the 100m butterfly S10, and Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist Toni Shaw in the 400m freestyle S9. Brothers James and Stephen Clegg bring six Paralympic medals between them, with James claiming bronze in London 2012 and Stephen winning silver and two bronze in Tokyo before claiming double gold in Paris.

Joining the Paralympic veterans are teenager Astrid Carroll, who took silver and bronze at last year's World Championships in Singapore, and Sam Downie, the S8 100m backstroke champion from the 2023 World Championships in Manchester. Ollie Carter completes the team as a multi-BUCS Swimming Championships gold medallist. This balanced squad combines proven Paralympic performers with emerging talents as Scotland aims for strong results in Glasgow.
