All athletes' results at each World Series edition are calculated using a standardised World Para Swimming points system via an online virtual competition platform. This ensures that the overall World Para Swimming World Series winner will be the best performing athlete over the duration of the series, meaning that every performance counts. After each event, the World Series rankings will be updated on the World Para Swimming Website. |
