Host selection

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 delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is now planned to be held from November 7 to 17, 2021.[4] [5]

Venues

The Aquatics Center of the New Clark City Sports Hub will be the venue of the tournament.
