One of the new national team captain Martina Aronsson's first goals was a team match on the men's side.

And at the WC in Budapest, Isak Eliasson, Elias Persson, Björn Seeliger and Robin Hansson will defend the Swedish colors in the 4x100 meter freestyle when Sweden finally has a team race on the men's side in long distance again.

- We are some guys who have talked about this for quite some time and invested in it, says Elias Persson.

- Swimming is an individual sport but also a team.

The team cap is a great way to get into a national team.

Partly to be able to swim with older, more experienced swimmers and partly to create a start in a national team, says national team captain Martina Aronsson.

Olympic big goal

The goal in the WC is top twelve, but in the long run they hope to reach other major tasks for the young boys.

- The Olympics in Paris is a goal and also Los Angeles 2028, says Martina Aronsson.
