The website is packed with updates, news, facts and information about athletes to look out for at Glasgow 2015, which will be one of the last stops for swimmers on their road to Rio 2016.
Visitors to the site will also be able to find out about volunteering opportunities as the competition moves closer, and a resource for teams where important competition information will be published is also available.
Fans are invited to keep up with the latest news about the competition via www.ipcswimmingworlds2015.org and on social media - @IPCSwimming and Facebook.com/IPCSwimming.
IPC Swimming, the global governing body of para-swimming is working with British Swimming, UK Sport, Event Scotland and Glasgow City Council to deliver Glasgow 2015 which takes place from 19-26 July.
The last IPC Swimming World Championships were held in Montreal, Canada, with 43 new world records set and 172 gold medals awarded between 12-18 August 2013. Nearly 480 athletes from 53 countries competed at the Championships, in what was the biggest gathering of international swimmers since London 2012 and the first event of its kind in North America.
Thirty-nine countries won at least one medal, over half of the entire number of National Paralympic Committees (NPCs) that fielded teams. Ukraine topped the medals table with Russia second and Great Britain third.
