The 15th FINA World Championships (Catalan: Campionat Mundial de Natació de 2013, Spanish: Campeonato Mundial de Natación de 2013) were held from 20 July to 4 August in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.[1][2] The 2013 World Championships featured 6 aquatics disciplines: swimming, water polo, diving, high diving, open water, and synchronised swimming.

The Championships were originally awarded to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in July 2009; however, Dubai withdrew as host in May 2010.[3] FINA then re-bid the meet, and Barcelona was selected on September 26, 2010.[4][5]

  • Palau Sant Jordi (swimming, synchronized swimming)
  • Port Vell (open water swimming, high diving)
  • Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc (diving)
  • Piscines Bernat Picornell (water polo)

Schedule[]

This was the first time the World Aquatic Championships included high diving.[7][8]
