The World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25m), formerly known as the FINA World Swimming Championships (25m),[1] also referred to as 'short course worlds',[2][3][4] are an international swimming competition staged by the internationally recognized governing body of the sport, World Aquatics (formerly FINA).
