With the 2025 World Aquatics Championships on the horizon, we now know who will represent the nation of Greece in Singapore later this month.

28-year-old Olympic medalist Apostolos Christou leads the charge, joined by some bubbling young talent emerging beneath the surface.

23-year-old Stergios-Marios Bilas made the grade, courtesy of his 50m free and 50m fly performances at the Greek Championships in June. He is the reigning European Junior Championships gold medalist in the latter and silver medalst in the former from the 2024 edition in Belgrade.

Apostolos Siskos has also already proven himself a formidable competitor, registering a new national record of 1:54.66 in the men’s 200m backstroke to rank #2 in the world heading into Singapore.

On the women’s side, mainstay Anna Ntountounaki heads up the roster, with the 29-year-old having put up a new 5om fly national record of 25.63 earlier this year to rank 7th in the world on the season.
