Former Wootton Bassett School pupil Carlin, who had a disappointing World Championships in Barcelona in August while Ledecky won golds at the 400, 800 and 1500m freestyle, mayb come face to face with the American after being selected as part of the 37-strong European Allstars team for the event at at Tollcross International Swimming Centre.
Olympic medallist Michael Jamieson and World Championship medallist Fran Halsall will lead the European challenge against a USA team that also features double Olympic champion Ryan Lochte.
British Swimming Head Coach Bill Furniss said: “The European Allstars features by far the strongest line up we’ve ever seen in what will be the third of these exciting biennial events.
“The USA are sending a very strong team so the challenge facing the Europeans will be immense but it will provide a great spectator event at the home of next year’s Commonwealth Games.”
