Doha set to host FINA /CNSG Marathon Swim World Series 2021

Doha, December 15 , 2020-The Qatar Swimming Association (QSA) will host the first meet of the FINA /CNSG Marathon Swim World Series 2021, which will feature the participation of world's best long-distance swimmers on March 12.

The FINA Marathon Swim World Series annually staged elite-level competition is organised in over 9 locations and takes places in either fresh water or sea. Since 2007, FINA decided to focus the World Cup on the 10km distance only, as a direct consequence of the introduction of the 10km Marathon Swim into the Olympic programme in 2008.

It will be the fourth consecutive year when the elite-level 10km men and women races will be held in the Qatari capital, which is also home to multiple FINA Swimming World Cups and the 2014 FINA World Swimming Championships.

The QSA, with the hosting of the spectacular swimming events, is preparing to deliver the successful 2023 FINA World Aquatics Championships.​
