World Para Swimming Points System

All athletes' results at each Para Swimming World Series edition are calculated using a standardised World Para Swimming points system via an online virtual competition platform.

This ensures that the overall 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 Para Swimming World Series rankings will be updated on the World Para Swimming Website.

World Para Swimming launched the World Series in 2017 bringing together top elite Para swimmers, emerging stars and newcomers in regular events across the globe, raising the profile and appeal of Para swimming worldwide.
