Swimming will take place from Sunday 25th to Friday 30th June 2023 at the London Aquatics Centre, home of the 2012 Olympics. The championships will run in a 25 m 10 lane setup with full warm-up and cool-down facilities.
IGLA London 2023 is open to all, regardless of their race experience! There are no qualifying times and the event is open to all those ages 18 and over.
Participants are welcome to compete under their identified gender of male, female or under the open category. Swimming, however, remains a strict gender-binary sport under FINA regulation and although medals at IGLA will be awarded in accordance with your identified gender, the results (including records) will be reported to FINA and/or your National Governing Body in line with their policies. Both IGLA London 2023 and Out To Swim are committed to driving forward gender inclusion in sports.
