The iconic Water Cube, which was the site of the 2008 Olympic Games, will serve as the venue for the six-day meet. China previously hosted the event in 2006 (Shanghai) and 2018 (Hangzhou).<\/p>\n<p>Because the competition is held over six days, as opposed to the nine-day format of the long-course World Championships, there will prelims, semifinals and finals for the 50-meter and 100-meter events. The 200- and 400-meter events will feature prelims and finals, while the 800 freestyle and 1500 freestyle events will be conducted via the timed-finals format. Relays will utilize a prelims-finals setup.<\/p>\n<p>United States athletes should benefit from the six-day schedule, as their qualifying meet was held in a condensed four-day window, with only distance-freestyle action held on Night One. With additional days on the schedule, the likes of Virginia&#8217;s Kate Douglass and Gretchen Walsh should be fresher for their events, although they will add relay duty to their programs.<\/p>\n<p>Each night of the World Short Course Championships will include at least one relay final, with the opening and closing nights featuring a pair of relays. On Night One, relay gold medals will be handed out in the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s 400 freestyle relays, while the last night of the meet will crown champions in the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s 400 medley relays.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldaquatics.com\/competitions\/5052\/world-aquatics-swimming-championships-25m-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meet Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"657022\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/a-look-at-the-schedule-for-the-world-short-course-championships\/worldchampssked\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/WorldChampsSked.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1638,596\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"WorldChamps(Sked)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/WorldChampsSked-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/WorldChampsSked-1024x373.jpg\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-657022 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/WorldChampsSked.jpg\" alt=\"World Short Course Championships -
