Tatlong manlalangoy na pinangungunahan ni two-time Olympian Jasmine Alkhaldi ang lalahok sa nalalapit na 19th edition ng FINA World Championships sa Hunyo 18 hanggang Hulyo 3 sa Budapest, Hungary.

Bukod kay Alkhaldi, sasabak din sina Southeast Asian (SEA) Games multi-medalist Miranda Renner at Jonathan Cook sa torneo. Kakampay si Alkhaldi sa women's 50-meter freestyle event, habang lalangoy si Renner women’s 50-meter butterfly, at si Cook sa men's 200-meter breaststroke.

Ang national team sa pangunguna ni Philippine Swimming Inc. (PSI) president Lailani Velasco ay nasa Budapest na noong Martes. Bukod kay Alkhaldi naroon din si swimming mentor Sherwyn John Santiago.

Sina Renner at Cook na galing sa U.S. ay diretso na sa Budapest. “The 19th FINA World Championships is the Olympics of swimming,” ani Velasco, na nakadaupang-palad si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ilang oras bago nagtungo ng Hungary kasabay ng final inspection ng National Academy of Sports (NAS) sa New Clark City Complex sa Capas, Tarlac. “Most of the world’s top talents will be in attendance. Therefore, we have modest goals for the World Championships.”

Ang unang layunin ayon kay Velasco ay “ride on the momentum we gained” noong 31st Southeast Asian Games sa Hanoi, Vietnam kung saan naka-gold ang Pilipinas dahil sa tikas ni Chloe Isleta sa women’s 200-meter backstroke, at three silvers ang iba pa at ilang bronze medals.

Optimistiko ang PSI na ang 3 swimmers na lalarga sa worlds ay makapagtatala ng "a few more national records if not personal bests.” Maging ang asam na makapasok sa top 16 sa kani-kanilang events sina Alkhaldi, Renner at Cook.
