Its 40-strong team, competing in athletics, swimming, judo and powerlifting, will take advantage of the university's world class sporting facilities. The Irish Triathlon team will also train at Swansea University and they will benefit from the Gower peninsula.

Professor O Sergio Durand Alcantara, secretary general of the Mexican Paralympic Committee, said: "It will be a great privilege to have our last training camp to participate in the London 2012 Paralympic Games at Swansea University in Wales; the venues are really good.

"It is important to mention the great support I have received from the Welsh Government and also from Swansea University staff. I am sure our pre Games training camp will be a great success and impact positively on the medals our national delegation will obtain in the Paralympic Games, but also for the opportunity to interact with the people of Wales."

At least 19 countries are expected to train in Wales in the run-up to the Games. They include the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee, who will be based in Cardiff, as will Paralympic athletes from the whole of the Oceania region, including Australia and South Africa.

Elsewhere, the United States Paralympic Cycling team and the highly successful British Olympic and Paralympic Cycling teams will be based at the Newport velodrome, which will be running at maximum capacity before the Games begin. 

Wales First Minister Carwyn Jones said: "Pre Games training camps will provide opportunities to develop sporting, educational and cultural exchanges with countries that come to Wales and provide opportunities for children and local communities to get involved, resulting in a positive Games legacy for Wales."

Lord Coe, Chair of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) added: "I wish the teams and their Welsh colleagues all the very best in their preparations for London 2012."
