Unlike the World Aquatics Championships, this championship only contains swimming events, and the short course indicated is a 25 m long pool (instead of the 50 m used in the World Aquatics Championships). There are five different styles of individual competition: back stroke, breast stroke, butterfly, free style and medley (where the athletes swim each of the other four styles an equal distance).
