Standard Entry Times

notes

• The entry times should be obtained on or after 1 January, 2020 (planned). For further details, please see the Entry Booklet.

Diving

With springboard, platform, and synchronized diving, athletes have their performances rated for their accuracy, mid-air motions, and entry into the water. It only takes less than 2 seconds from jumping to hitting the water, but the skills they showcase in that small amount of time will determine their scores.

Schedule

Open Water Swimming

Unlike swimming competitions in the pool, open water swimming competitions take place over long distances in natural bodies of water such as the open ocean, rivers and lakes. Also called water marathons, the competition distance is 3 km, and because they are affected by the natural conditions, it is a gruelling discipline that requires knowledge and experience as well as technique.

Schedule

Water Polo

2 teams made up of 7 players (including 1 goalkeeper) compete in a pool court to put the ball in the opponent's goal, the winning team being the one that scores the most points. Popular for its aggressive play, it is also known as "water martial arts" due to its intensity. It is worth watching for the awesome goals, and dynamic movements of the players above and in the water.
