The venue for the FINA Swimming World Cup in Eindhoven before start of the event.

The FINA Swimming World Cup is an international series of short course (25 m) swimming meets organized by FINA, the International Federation for swimming. The series was started in the 1988/1989, and is open to swimmers from FINA member countries. For the 2015 edition, the series were held in long course pools instead of short course. The series has traditionally been held in the northern hemisphere's winter-time (October–February range), placing it within the normal short course competition times for many countries (with long course competition predominating in the northern hemisphere's summer months).

Currently, the overall 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-place winners are awarded prize money.[1] The men’s and women’s series winners take home $150,000 each, runners-up $100,000, and third-place finishers $50,000, following a prize-money increase announced by FINA in September 2017.

Events

The events are the same for all meets, but the competition order may vary. All events are swum prelims/finals, with the exception of the 800 m and 1500 m freestyle which are swum as timed finals (all swimmers swim just once). The meets are held over two days, with preliminary heats in the morning, and finals in the evening. A noted exception to this style are the meets held in Brazil, where prelims have been in the evening with finals the following morning (and hence a three-day format).

Current series events (all in short course pools):

  • Freestyle: 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 (women only) and 1500 (men only);
  • Backstroke: 50, 100 and 200;
  • Breaststroke: 50, 100 and 200
  • Butterfly: 50, 100 and 200
  • Individual Medley: 100, 200, and 400.
  • Relays: 4 × 50 m mixed freestyle, 4 × 50 m mixed medley
