While the World Aquatics Masters Championships - Kyushu 2023 might take place from 2-11 August this year, now's the time to start preparing - and we're not just talking about your training. 

To make the planning for this bucket list trip that much easier for you, World Aquatics and the event organisers have put together the Event Entry Booklet that will answer almost, if not all, of your questions about how to qualify, sign-up, and book a place to stay. You'll even get a few ideas about what to sightsee in this spectacular setting beside the ocean between one's competitive events. 

To get started on your prospective Kyushu 2023 aquatics adventure, download the Event Entry Booklet HERE.

Competition Venues on Kyushu Island

The three cities hosting the World Aquatics Masters Championships on Kyushu Island - Fukuoka, Kumamoto and Kagoshima - make for an aquatic lover's paradise. From swimmers competing in the pool that their heroes raced in just days earlier, to divers using the same springboards and platforms from the World Aquatics Championships to open water swimmers navigating the same water that Gregorio Paltrinieri and Ana Marcela Cunha and other stars of the sport are expected to compete in, Fukuoka will be a happening spot not only in July but August, too.

The water polo teams will get to call the Aqua Dome Kumamoto home, while Kagoshima's sparkling Kamoike Park Swimming Pool complex will provide the ideal field of play for the master's artistic swimmers.
