World Aquatics offers a comprehensive set of official documents for swimming competitions, providing key resources for athletes, officials, and event organizers. These include warm-up guidelines for both long course and short course events (updated for 2025), and protocols for officiating and video judging across competitions.
Competition-related forms outline procedures for technical officials, featuring standardized materials such as disqualification cards (including versions for Video Assistant Referee use), withdrawal and substitution forms, and relay entry cards. Additional forms support appeals and world record applications.
The documents are available in both Word and PDF formats for easy accessibility and use during events. They cover operational requirements for various distances, including 800m and 1500m events in both pool types.
These resources promote consistent rule enforcement, transparent adjudication, and efficient management of swimming competitions under World Aquatics governance.
