Lima 2019 delivered the VIDENA Aquatic Center to the Peruvian Swimming Federation and the National Paralympic Association of Peru. It will be one of the Pan American and Parapan American Games biggest milestones. The venue was entirely built by the Games Organizing Committee and it is currently one of the Americas\u2019 most modern facilities, certified by FINA (International Swimming Federation).<\/p>\n

The Lima 2019 Executive Director Carlos Neuhaus will be present at this event, together with the Peruvian Swimming Federation President Eduardo Tabini<\/strong> and the president of the National Paralympic Association of Peru, Lucha Villar<\/strong>. They will be accompanied by many Peruvian aquatic sports team members.<\/p>\n

The Aquatic Center will host the swimming, diving and artistic swimming competitions in the Pan American Games, as well as Para swimming events in the Parapan American Games. The participation of the greatest aquatic sports representatives is guaranteed as the four disciplines are qualifiers for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.<\/p>\n
