Andy Caddick has resumed training following major surgery to address an ongoing back problem. “I went back to the Nuffield Hospital last weekend to see my surgeon who gave me the all clear to start training again which is great news. Since then I have been swimming every day. I am feeling OK and will be going back to see the surgeon for my next check up in six week's time, just before we fly out to Abu Dhabi for the pre-season tour.”

Marcus Trescothick and Ben Phillips are also back in full training.
