There are men's and women's categories for sports. Unlike the World Aquatics Championships, this championship only contains swimming events, and the short course indicated is a 25 m long pool (instead of the 50 m used in the World Aquatics Championships). There are five different styles of individual competition: back stroke, breast stroke, butterfly, free style and medley (where the athletes swim each of the other four styles an equal distance).

  • Individual events:
    • 50 m (all styles except medley)
    • 100 m (all styles)
    • 200 m (all styles)
    • 400 m (freestyle and medley)
    • 800 m (freestyle, women only)
    • 1500 m (freestyle, men only)
  • Relays:
    • 4 × 100 m (freestyle, medley)
    • 4 × 200 m (freestyle)
