SINGAPORE — Singapore will be the first Southeast Asian country to host the premier international aquatics event, the World Aquatics Championships 2025. The World Aquatics Championships will bring together the six aquatic sports of swimming, water polo, diving, artistic swimming, open water swimming and high diving.
“I’ve been coming since I was 14 years old to the Singapore Sports School and spoke to students about the challenges and possibilities of making sport a big part of their lives,” said Australian legend Thorpe. “As you might expect from an island nation, Singapore has a proud tradition of aquatic sports. Our whole community is excited about the opportunities that will come from bringing the world’s best aquatics athletes to Singapore: from the teams that have represented us with honour at the Olympic Games and the World Aquatics Championships to the young people training in our clubs,” said Mark Chay, Singapore Swimming Association President.
