O’Connor anchored the European 4x100m freestyle relay team of Aliaksandra Herasimenia (Belgium), Ranomi Kromowidjojo (Netherlands) and Jeanette Ottesen (Denmark) to victory in 3:27.61.

She was also runner-up to Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu in the 200m individual medley in 2:05.19 and recorded third-placed finishes in both the 100m butterfly and 200m freestyle.

University of Bath Chemical Engineering graduate Andrew Willis was also in the Europe All-Stars team, finishing third in the 200m breaststroke in 2:03.60 and sixth in the 100m race in 58.69.

Despite their best efforts, it was the United States who recorded their seventh successive victory over Europe in the annual event by 155-107.

Jazz Carlin, Calum Jarvis, Andrew Willis and Jemma Lowe – all coached by Dave McNulty and Graeme Antwhistle at British Swimming’s National Centre Bath – are among 22 athletes selected for the FINA World Cups in Doha on November 2-3 and Dubai on November 6-7.

Willis, a University of Bath Chemical Engineering graduate, and Carlin will also represent Britain at the LEN European Short-Course Championships in Israel, taking place from December 2-6.

They will be joined in the 12-strong squad by fellow Bath swimmers Chris Walker-Hebborn and Siobhan-Marie O’Connor.

Willis, Carlin and O’Connor will then jet out to Indianapolis as part of a seven-strong British team taking on the United States in the annual Duel in the Pool on December 11-12.

Bill Furniss, Head Coach of British Swimming, said: “It’s an important year ahead with an Olympics as the focus, so this period of preparation is vital in ensuring the athlete prepares well and prepares thoroughly.

“The events over the next two months are the first batch of competitions of the Olympic year and provide a first outing for our athletes. It’s not something they will be fully focused on but these events allow us to familiarise ourselves with and practice once again the processes we need to make sure we’re ready for next summer.”
