The Russian Swimming Federation announced their team of 37 swimmers to represent them at the 2019 World Aquatics Championships in Gwangju, South Korea.

The team is highlighted by Anton Chupkov, Yulia Efimova and Evgeny Rylov, who all won gold medals at the 2017 World Championships in Budapest. Russia won ten medals in Budapest and won three gold medals, coincidentally all on the same night. Chupkov and Efimova won the 200 breast while Rylov won the 200 back.
