Saint Lucia will be represented by 2016 Junior Swimmer of the Year JayhanOdlum-Smiath, Jean Luc Zephir of the Sea Jays Swim Club, and Mikaili Charlemagne of Sharks Swim Club.
Odlum-Smith will compete in 50-metres and 100-metres butterfly, Zephir in the 50-metres and 100-metres freestyle and Charlemagne in the 50-metres and 100-metres freestyle.
While in Hungary, the three swimmers will be under the guidance of Constance Renee and Coach Brian Charles.
