Backstroker Jamie Ferguson has been added to Team Scotland’s swimming squad for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, completing the lineup in the pool for the host nation. 

Jamie, who achieved the qualification standard in the 50m Backstroke at the recent Aquatics GB Swimming Championships in London, will make his Commonwealth Games debut this summer, as part of a 33-strong Swimming and Para-Swimming squad. 

Jamie, who trains at the University of Aberdeen under Head Coach Patrick Miley, is a member of the Scottish National Senior Team setup, alongside the country’s most talented swimmers. 

Ferguson’s inclusion adds further strength in depth to Team Scotland’s swimming squad, which includes names such as Duncan Scott, Angharad Evans and Archie Goodburn. 

Speaking after his selection was confirmed, Jamie said: “It’s something I’ve dreamt of my entire swimming career, to represent Scotland. I’m really proud of myself doing what I had to do to put my name in the hat. I just couldn’t believe it when I made the time in London and was so grateful that my mum and dad were there to watch as well.” 

 Swimming and Para Swimming  take place at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre with competition running from 24 to 29 July. Tickets to watch Team Scotland compete are available here.
