We’re about to enter the final month of 2023 with lots of swimming action still packed into the coming weeks.
The European Short Course Championships represent a big draw for athletes around that continent this December with the 6-day affair kicking off on the 5th in Romania.
Sprinkled throughout the world are national championships to keep things lively before we enter the year 2024, one with a full lineup of elite meets including the 2024 World Championships in Doha, Qatar and the main event of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
