Lima, Peru’s capital city, will host the 8th FINA World Junior Swimming Championships from August 30 to September 4, 2022. Over 600 talented swimmers from more than 100 National Federations are anticipated to compete in the primary international event for youth swimmers, aged 14-17 for women and 15-18 for men.
The FINA World Junior Swimming Championships 2022 will take place over six (6) days in Lima, Peru, with preliminary heats in the mornings and semi-finals and finals in the evenings. All morning classes will begin at 09:30 local time, while all evening sessions will begin at 18:00 local time (GMT -5).
The competition will take place at the VIDENA Aquatic Center. The XVIII Pan American and Parapan American Games Lima 2019, the Lima 2021 South American Youth Aquatic Sports Championship, and the FINA Water Polo World League Intercontinental Cup 2022 were all held at this site.
This six-day competition will be held in Lima’s Videna Aquatic Centre, which has recently hosted several significant competitions, including the Lima 2019 Pan American Games and the men’s and women’s FINA World League Water Polo Intercontinental 2022 tournaments. The facility, a national aquatics training center, features 50m competition and 50m training pools with a capacity for 3000 spectators.
The first FINA World Junior Swimming Championships were held in Rio de Janeiro in 2006. (BRA). The biannual event was subsequently held in Monterrey (MEX) in 2008, Lima (PER) in 2011, Dubai (UAE) in 2013, Singapore (SGP) in 2015, Indianapolis (USA) in 2017, and Budapest (HUN) in 2019.
The previous World Junior Championships in Lima were held at the Campo de Marte pool.
The event, which was originally slated to take place in Kazan (RUS) in 2021, was pushed back to 2022 due to changes in the international sports calendar and the rescheduling of the Tokyo Olympic Games to the summer of 2021. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, FINA canceled the tournament in Kazan.
