Poland is to host another edition of the European Short-Course Swimming Championships, elite and masters, one of the highlights of the 2025 season – European Aquatics’ treasured showcase will visit the European swimming powerhouse again after Szczecin staged the meet in 2011.
The other three highly anticipated elite rendezvous, the stand-alone European Championships in artistic swimming, diving and open water swimming – all set to take place in May – have also been allocated to the same hosting federation and the exact dates for the respective events, as well as the locations, shall be shared after the summer. More info will come later about this new format competition at European level.
After successfully hosting a range of age-group events in other disciplines, Slovakia aims big and will organise the summer’s two top age-group EA meets in swimming, the highly anticipated 2nd edition of the U23 Europeans at the end of June and a couple of days later, the European junior swimming championships, an innovative approach to scheduling which will concentrate attention and be cost efficient.
As for the other disciplines’ age-group competitions, Greece will welcome the best young artistic swimmers of the continent. The host of the Junior Open Water Europeans will also be announced soon – whilst the locations for the 2025 Open Water Cup shall be revealed in the autumn, after the end of the current season. The location and dates for the European Junior Diving Championships will be determined in due course.
The young water polo talents will have a busy summer too, with the U16 and U18 Europeans scheduled for 2025 in both genders. Türkiye has become a regular host for both WA and EA tournaments – next year both U16 championships will visit the country, except for the men’s Division 1 which will be heading to Slovenia.
The clashes of the U18 teams are due in August 2025. The men’s elite will travel to Romania (Division 1 is yet to be announced), while the women’s field will gather in Malta – where another edition of the Champions League Final Four is set to take place earlier, in June.
