Hungarian Swimming Federation president Sándor Wladár told a Monday press conference that organisers want to host the best world championships of all time, “as was achieved at the 2017 and 2022 world championships”.

Husain al-Musallam, Kuwaiti president of World Aquatics, stressed the role of Hungarians in the global history of world water sports, which goes back to the first Olympics with the success of swimmer Alfréd Hajós.

He added that developing countries can learn a lot from Hungary and a new generation of the sport could even be born in Budapest.

About the event:

The World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25m), formerly known as the FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) is also referred to as ‘short course worlds’, as competitions are held not in an Olympic size (50m) but a shorter pool.

As of the 1993 inception of the World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25m) the event has been staged every two years, nowadays during the last month of the calendar year, in alternate years of the World Aquatics Championships.

In case of the latter competition format, where 6 sports are featured (swimming, open water swimming, synchronised swimming, diving, high-diving and water polo) there is just the swimming competition in the 25m pool. At these events those swimmers can achieve the best results who are particularly strong at the turns and their dolphin-kick technique.
