The upcoming World Aquatics Swimming World Cup Series will be live-streamed for free on YouTube to most of the world, World Aquatics told Swimwam on Monday.
The news comes after Recast, which was World Aquatics’ live streaming and on-demand replay partner, headed toward insolvency last week when a major investor pulled out of the project.
The 2023 World Aquatics World Cup Series will feature 3 stops, all in Europe:
2023 FINA World Cup Series:
- October 6-8: Berlin, Germany
- October 13-15: Athens, Greece
- October 20-22: Budapest, Hungary
The 2023 series has already confirmed some big names as participants. That includes the anticipated returns to racing for Adam Peaty and Kristof Milak after both missed this summer’s World Championships.
Other names expected to compete include Beata Nelson, Sarah Sjostrom, Kylie Masse, Kaylee McKeown, Lani Pallister, Michael Andrew, Nic Fink, Chad le Clos, Thomas Ceccon, and Dylan Carter.
Finally.
Why they selected Recast in the first place is baffling.
Must have been bribery, kickbacks, and corruption.
A swim meet that fans all over the world can watch with ease (fingers crossed)?
Who stuffed up?
Is the Meet going to be long course or short course (meters)?

Per Hungarian arcticles Milák won’t return in Berlin, perhaps in Budapest.
World Aquatics have the competitors by event, up on their Website for Berlin!
Financial insolvency has finally brought about a bit of sanity and concern for fans, worldwide. PTL!
I read that Zhang Yufei will be competing at the Berlin stop. She is probably not going to be the lone chinese swimmer there. They have been absent from world cup swimming since the COVID era.
Common sense at last!
Is that pic really Milak?
No. I believe that is Dylan Carter.
its carter
