In the strangest World Championships in several generations, we’re going to do our best to pick the medalists and finalists for the 2024 World Championships.
The 2024 World Aquatics Championships will kick off on Feb. 2, and pool swimming will get underway on Feb. 11 and run through the 18th.
As the meet approaches, we will be previewing all 42 pool events that are set to take place at the meet, though due to this being a non-traditional World Championships during the Olympic year, and thus a severely pared down field compared to a normal World Championship, we’ll be publishing previews by discipline: sprint, mid-distance and distance free, along with back, breast, fly, IM and relays in their own articles for men and women, plus a mixed relay preview article.
Keep track of all of SwimSwam’s discipline-by-discipline previews below, with medalist picks listed out for every event.
We’ll also keep track of a projected medal table based on our picks at the bottom of this article.
