About the World Aquatics Scholarship programme
The World Aquatics Scholarship programme targets 100 swimmers, 20 open water swimmers, 20 divers and 10 artistic swimming duets.
World Aquatics takes into consideration continent quotas and gender equality for each annual class of scholarship recipients.
The main goal of the programme is to identify and create an optimal training environment for athletes aspiring to represent their countries at the next World Aquatics Championships and the Olympic Games. The programme aims to support athletes with greater needs and help them reach their full potential.
Successful candidates will be placed at one of the five World Aquatics training centres for one or two years. In exceptional cases, an athlete may be offered a World Aquatics scholarship with an individual training option.
These centres are located in Europe, Asia, Oceania and America. A new training centre will soon open in Africa as well.
The World Aquatics training centres are designed to welcome athletes from all around the world and provide high-level training conditions as well as full board accommodation, making them the perfect environment to develop and hone one’s aquatics skills.
