That would increase the total number of swimming events from 32 to 42, matching the schedule of the FINA World Championships that are currently held every other year. This is not the first time that FINA has proposed to increase the event schedule for the Olympics. Prior to 2016 Rio Games, the organization proposed adding a similar number of events to the schedule, none of which were ultimately adopted. While it is unlikely the International Olympic Committee will accept the entirety of FINA\u2019s proposal, they could choose to add a few specific events to the program. FINA is also recommending adding new diving events, expanding the water polo tournament and creating a mixed synchro event.
