World Aquatics is pleased to announce the opening of media accreditation for national and international media to the three stops - the American cities of Carmel, Indiana and Westmont, Illinois, before culminating in Toronto, Canada, for this year's World Aquatics Swimming World Cup.
The World Aquatics Swimming World Cup 2024 will take place in three Asian cities over three consecutive weeks in October 2025. The events will feature three days of action-packed racing in the short-course (25m) pool.
The three city stops of the Swimming World Cup 2025 make for a thrilling end to the international swimming calendar, which included the recent World Aquatics Championships - Singapore 2025 that saw the rewriting of three World Records, 15 Championship Records, and 28 Continental Records during the event.
The three North American destinations for the nine days of racing action:
- 10-12 October, Carmel, Indiana (USA)
- 17-19 October, Westmont, Illinois (USA)
- 23-25 October, Toronto, Ontario (CAN)
Accreditation
We invite all media representatives wishing to cover the World Aquatics Swimming World Cups to submit their accreditation applications individually for each tour stop through the World Aquatics GMS Media Accreditation portal.
The registration is for all members of the written press, photographic press, online media, and writers and photographers working for publications and/or websites of the World Aquatics National Member Federations.
The World Aquatics Communication Department will approve all international registrations submitted through the World Aquatics GMS. All domestic registrations will be approved by the Local Organising Committee of the host city (Carmel, Westmont, Toronto). Holding a current AIPS membership will aid one's application, particularly for international media.
If you have already attended a World Aquatics/FINA event, please use your existing World Aquatics GMS account. If you have any issues with registration, please contact gms@worldaquatics.com.
Accredited event media will collect and validate their cards onsite at the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup event.
A valid travel document containing a photo must be presented to receive media accreditation.
The recording of video material inside any competition or training venue at World Aquatics events is strictly reserved for Rights Holding Broadcasters. Any breach of this restriction may result in cancellation of the accreditation.
Media Facilities
The Swimming World Cup event organisers will provide a comfortable working environment for all Accredited Media, delivering a range of facilities and services at the level established at previous tour stops.
