Aquatics GB have selected an 11-strong team, which includes a mixture of Olympic heroes and senior international debutants.
Tokyo Olympic champion Anderson will also look to start her season on a high as they push for more medals on the international stage.

Speaking ahead of his first event as the new Aquatics GB swimming head coach, Steven Tigg said: “We are really looking forward to bringing this team together and getting some valuable early-season racing under the belt as we begin a fresh Olympic cycle towards LA – with the first major focus being about building towards next summer’s World Aquatics Championships in Singapore.
“The World Short Course Championships are always an enjoyable and insightful competition opportunity, which provide a chance to fine-tune technical skills and routines in the high-performance arena.
“To be able to bring experienced Olympic and world performers like Freya together with some younger athletes who are starting out on exciting journeys in the sport is fantastic, and every single member of the team will undoubtedly get a lot out of the trip."
