Integrity Code 

The World Aquatics Integrity Code establishes clear integrity standards for persons involved in Aquatics, to prohibit conduct that might undermine public confidence in the integrity of Aquatics and/or in the uncertainty of outcome of events, and to establish effective mechanisms for enforcement of this Integrity Code and sanctions for its violation.

Doping Control Rules 

These Anti-Doping Rules are adopted and implemented in accordance with World Aquatics' responsibilities under the Code, and in furtherance of World Aquatics’ continuing efforts to eradicate doping in the aquatic sports.
