The nomination policy for the 2022 Commonwealth Games has been amended following the rearrangement of the FINA World Championships.
FINA announced in February that the 19th World Championships, which was scheduled to take place between 13-29 May in Japan, was being switched to 14-30 July 2023.
It then confirmed, however, there would be a World Championships in 2022 to help ‘maximise opportunities for established and emerging aquatics athletes’.
This is taking place in Budapest, Hungary, from 18 June to 3 July.
The original May date for the World Championships was also a potential opportunity for swimmers to qualify for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Now, with the change in dates, this is no longer the case, leading to an alteration to the Swimming and Para-swimming Nomination Policy.
