LIVE TEXT COMMENTARY (all times BST)

You can use Twitter or 606 to get involved, or text us your views on 81111 (UK) or +44 7786200666 (worldwide) with "SWIMMING" as the first word. (Not all comments can be used. Messages will be charged at your standard rate.)

1552: By the way, stick around after the swimming because we'll have diving action, with GB's Blake Aldridge in the final of the men's 10m platform. (Remember, Tom Daley pulled out through injury on Saturday.) Britain already has a diving medal to its name this week and, if you're in the UK, you can watch the highlights of Monique Gladding and Megan Sylvester taking bronze in the 10m synchro.

From Ch2bjs on 606: "Thirteen medals already, maybe a few more to come. This despite the fact the Europeans are not the major focus for the British team but they will be for all the other teams. I look forward to the Commonwealths with interest."

1547: One, last session then in which to lob your thoughts at me on 606 or via Twitter (where I'm @BBCSport_Ollie). What do you make of the week's swimming you've seen? What are your predictions for October's Commonwealth Games and beyond? How will the home nations' women fare against Australia in Delhi? And will Liam Tancock ever be quiet about those new shoes of his with his name on them?

Twitter
From GB swimmer Fran Halsall on Twitter: "50m free and medley relay! Trying to end the meet on a high."

Said, by a woman who has already won a gold and two silvers in Hungary, as though she hasn't had the greatest of weeks.

1542: Big British hopes? Look no further than the first race, where GB's Fran Halsall locks horns with Sweden's Therese Alshammar for women's 50m freestyle gold. Kate Haywood has a sniff of a medal in the 50m breaststroke, Rebecca Adlington is tipped by BBC expert (and Athens 2004 bronze medallist) Steve Parry to win the 400m freestyle, and then British teams go in both the men's and women's 100m medley relays.

1539: This being the concluding session in the pool, there are no semi-finals or any of that nonsense. Every race coming up is a final and there are no fewer than eight medals at stake - seven of which will be contested by Britain.

1537: Hello, everybody. For the last time at this year's European Championships, settle yourselves down and get ready for some swimming action.
