Ahead of the opening leg of the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup, Olympic medallists Carson Foster, Siobhan Haughey<\/strong> and Marrit Steenbergen<\/strong> led a swimming clinic for young swimmers in Baku, bringing high-level coaching and inspiration to the next generation of aquatic talent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The clinic welcomed young swimmers aged 11-15 from local sports schools and regional clubs take to the pool alongside three of the sport\u2019s most accomplished international stars.<\/p>\n

Organised as part of the World Aquatics Athletes\u2019 Experience programme, the initiative aims to provide specialised training for young talent, support community swimming development and inspire future generations to engage with aquatic sports.<\/p>\n

Action gets underway from 1-3 October<\/strong><\/a> as Azerbaijan hosts its first-ever World Aquatics event, launching the three-stop Silk Road Tour.<\/p>\n

The opening leg set for Baku’s state-of-the-art Aquatic Palace brings together 216 athletes representing 44 nations, competing for USD $1.2 million in overall series prize money and wildcard places for the World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25m) in Beijing.<\/p>\n

For the athletes conducting the session, connecting with local youth offered a meaningful start to their time in Azerbaijan before competitive action gets underway tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree athletes, three Olympians from three different countries got to help run a swim clinic with kids from Azerbaijan, which was so fun,\u201d said two-time Olympic medallist Foster<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

“Just getting to help them with their strokes, take some of our advice and our knowledge that helped us get to the place we\u2019re at today, and hopefully instil that into them at a younger age” – Carson Foster<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Foster was impressed with the technical level displayed by the young Azerbaijani swimmers during the clinic.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy expectations when I came here \u2013 they blew them away. They were much more advanced and technically correct than I was expecting. So they were great,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The swimming clinic highlighted the core mission of the Athletes’ Experience programme to empower young athletes to dream big and build a lasting legacy in host communities. Reflecting on his own childhood, Foster remembered how meeting his idols set his career in motion.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy journey in swimming started with stuff like this \u2013 getting to swim with some of my idols growing up, like Ryan Lochte<\/strong> and Aaron Peirsol<\/strong>, and doing swim clinics with them when I was about these kids\u2019 age. It inspired me to continue to go all-in on swimming,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n

“More than any stroke or technique advice that we gave them, I hope that they feel inspired to continue to pursue swimming” – Carson Foster<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI hope that getting to swim with some of their idols or Olympians inspires them to continue to push and have a dream of competing in the Olympics for Azerbaijan.\u201d<\/p>\n

With action kicking off tomorrow at the Aquatic Palace, the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup 2026 gets underway with a reminder of how elite sport can leave a lasting impression on the communities it visits.<\/p>\n
