Swimming action is underway at the 2026 European Aquatics Championships in Paris.
The swimming competition runs from August 10 through August 16 as Europe’s leading swimmers battle for medals at the Olympic Aquatics Centre.
Tuesday’s programme includes events such as the women’s 50m butterfly and men’s 100m freestyle heats.
A major week for European swimming
The championships provide an opportunity for established stars and emerging swimmers to compete against the strongest athletes from across Europe.
Among the names attracting attention is Romanian star David Popovici, who is competing during the swimming programme in Paris.
Why Paris is significant
The competition is taking place at the same Olympic aquatics environment that became famous during Paris 2024.
That gives the championships an additional layer of interest for athletes and fans.
With several days of finals still to come, the medal race is only beginning.
