Munn made his Paralympic Games debut at Barcelona 1992 and was a member of the British teams who finished as silver medallists at the Atlanta 1996, as well as bronze at both Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008.

“I am so pleased to have been selected once again, the excitement and the pride at being able to compete at a Paralympics never wears off,” said Bywater.

“Rio will be such an important Games for us as athletes.
