A Truly Global Competition
Across the Series, schools will compete within regional qualification events before the strongest swimmers come together as national representative teams.
Singapore will compete against Malaysia.
Thailand will compete against Saudi Arabia.
The UAE will compete alongside the region's strongest swimming nations.
At the Grand Final, athletes will stand shoulder to shoulder with teammates from schools across their country, united by a shared goal and representing their nation on an international stage.
The Series is delivered in partnership with AP Race, one of the world's most recognised swimming performance brands.
Each participating country is supported by dedicated lead coaches and technical experts who help maintain consistent standards across qualification events and athlete development programmes.
This commitment to excellence ensures swimmers experience professional competition environments, world-class event delivery, and a pathway aligned with international performance standards.

RACE FOR YOUR NATION
Every qualifier is more than a swimming competition. It is a national selection opportunity. Athletes competing at the Singapore Qualifier will be working towards selection for Team Singapore. Athletes competing in Malaysia will pursue selection for Team Malaysia.
The same pathway applies across Thailand, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and future participating nations. The highest-performing swimmers will earn the opportunity to join their country's representative team and travel to London for the Global School Swimming Series Grand Final.
For schools, it is an opportunity to see their athletes compete on an international stage.
For swimmers, it is the chance to achieve something truly special:
To qualify.
To be selected.
