For the first time at a FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m), the 800 metre freestyle was contested for men and the 1500 metre freestyle for women, with qualification for competition determined based on times assessed per the FINA points system.[4]
The Championships were originally scheduled for 17 to 22 December 2022 at the Palace of Water Sports in Kazan, Russia, and were relocated in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2][5] All athletes and officials from Russia and Belarus were banned from the Championships by FINA.[6]
