Background
The event marked the first European Aquatics Championship in Poland since 2011, when Szczecin hosted the 15th edition. Aqua Lublin, one of Poland’s most modern aquatic facilities, was selected as the venue, featuring a 50-metre Olympic pool with a movable bottom and advanced timing systems.
More than 500 athletes from across Europe were expected to compete from 44 nations. Russian and Belarusian swimmers will not participate, due to ongoing restrictions on their involvement in European Aquatics events.
Competition highlights
The Championships featured the return of the 4×50m relays, contested in freestyle and medley formats for men, women, and mixed teams. Daniel Wiffen sought to defend his triple crown in distance freestyle, having set a world record in the 800m at the 2023 edition. Noe Ponti aimed to reclaim his 100m butterfly world record, with Grousset providing fierce rivalry. Kasia Wasick of Poland carried home hopes in the women’s 50m freestyle. Italy named a 32-strong squad, including Olympic champions Thomas Ceccon and Nicolo Martinenghi. Germany entered 18 swimmers, led by Lukas Maertens, world record holder in the 400m freestyle. Great Britain confirmed a 17-member team featuring Duncan Scott, Matt Richards, and Freya Anderson., while Ireland sent 12 athletes, spearheaded by Daniel Wiffen, defending champion in the 400m, 800m, and 1500m freestyle.
