Significance / Memorable Moments

The World Aquatics Championship is for aquatics sports such as: swimming, diving, high diving, open water swimming, synchronized swimming and water polo. All of these are governed by FINA and all swimming events are held in a 50 meters long-distance pool.
The 19th edition of the FINA World Aquatics Championships will be held in Fukuoka, Japan in 2022. The championship was originally scheduled to be held in 2021, but when the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the dates collided, the new dates being May 13–29, 2022. This will be the second time Fukuoka will host the event after 21 years.
