Ellie Simmonds comfortably reaches IPC World Championship qualifying time

British Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds has comfortably secured IPC World Championship qualification time in the 200m individual medley in the SM6 category.

The 20-year-old, who is a 13-time world champion, needed three minutes and 15.25 seconds to reach the standard, and she eased through in 3:06.09 at the Para-Swimming international meet in Glasgow.

"I'm really pleased with that," Simmonds told BBC Sport. "Yesterday wasn't great for me - I swam well in the 100m breaststroke, but I was disappointed with how I swam in the 100m freestyle as I wanted to be faster."

Simmonds's time in the 200m IM was just two seconds off of her world record.
