The 11th Asian Swimming Championships is scheduled to be held in year 2023 at the New Clark City in Capas, Tarlac, Philippines.

Host selection[]

New Clark City Aquatics Center, the venue for the championships.

The Asia Swimming Federation (AASF) said they were looking at three Asian countries as the possible host of the event: Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. But in the end, the Philippines was chosen because of the newly built and the first FINA-certified facility of the country, the New Clark City Aquatics Center which was used as a venue for aquatics events at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games previously.[1][2] In December 2019, The AASF, the Philippine Swimming, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority and the Philippine Sports Commission signed a partnership agreement for the Philippines’ hosting of the event.[3]

Postponement[]

The Asian Swimming Championships was originally scheduled to be held from November 7 to 17, 2020.[1][2] However the championships was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic to November 7 to 17, 2021.[4][5]> It was then further postponed to 2023.[6]
