Open Water Program at Swimming World Championships Gets Started After Two Delays

SINGAPORE, JUL 14 – The women's 10km open water race was delayed due to water quality exceeding safety limits, affecting 69 athletes and prompting continued monitoring by World Aquatics and organisers.

  • World Aquatics postponed the women's 10km open water swimming race at Sentosa on July 15 due to water quality concerns.
  • The decision came after an assessment conducted by representatives from World Aquatics, the committee responsible for organizing the Singapore 2025 event, and the technical experts in open water swimming, following July 13 water samples that exceeded the set pollutant limits.
  • Subsequent tests showed improved water quality meeting World Aquatics' standards, enabling the event to resume with the women's race rescheduled to July 16 alongside the men's 10km race.
  • In the men's 10-kilometer race held on July 16, Germany's Florian Wellbrock finished first with a time of 1:59:55.50, followed by Italy's Gregorio Paltrinieri in second place and Australia's Kyle Lee securing third.
  • The postponement highlighted the priority of athlete health and the continued monitoring by organisers to ensure safe conditions for remaining open water events in Singapore.
