Taking place from 21 to 27 September 2025 at the OCBC Aquatic Centre, the Singapore 2025 World Para Swimming Championships marks a historic first for Asia. This momentous occasion will bring together over 600 athletes from 60 nations, showcasing a commitment to inclusivity and excellence in para sports. As the 12th edition of the World Para Swimming Championships, this event is recognized as the highest-ranked Para swimming competition outside of the Paralympic Games and is expected to draw approximately 19,000 attendees over the course of the event.

Mr. Craig Nicholson, Head of World Para Swimming, expressed his excitement: “We are delighted to announce that next year’s World Championships will take place in Singapore, marking the first time the competition is held in Asia. This is a major milestone for our sport and is also evidence of the growth of Para swimming in the country and the region. Singapore hosted the Citi Para Swimming World Series for the first time in 2019, and since then, we have had the opportunity to see first-hand the great work of the Singapore Disability Sports Council, providing opportunities and breaking barriers for persons with disabilities in society. We look forward to working together with the SDSC and their partners to welcome the world’s best Para swimmers to the OCBC Aquatic Centre in 2025.”

As the local organizing committee, the Singapore Disability Sports Council (SDSC) plays a crucial role in bringing the vision of an inclusive society to life. Dr. Teo-Koh Sock Miang, President of the SDSC, remarked, “This landmark event envisions propelling Singapore onto the global stage as a country committed to empowering individuals of all abilities. With the generous support of Sport Singapore and the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, we aim to engage more Singaporeans through the awareness and partnerships fostered by this event.”

The organising committee warmly invites fans, athletes, and partners to engage in this exciting opportunity. Numerous participation avenues are available to ensure a memorable and impactful event.

As preparations for this historic event progress, updates, athlete profiles, and event news will be shared. Together, we aim to create an unforgettable celebration of sports and community during the Singapore 2025 World Para Swimming Championships.
