CMAS Finswimming Youth World Cup

İzmir will welcome the next generation of finswimming talent on July 2–5, 2026, as the CMAS Finswimming Youth World Cup takes place at the Halkapınar Olympic Swimming Pool. Open to young athletes aged 10 to 15, the event will bring together rising swimmers in Categories C, D, and E for four days of speed, technique, and international race energy.

Finswimming is one of those sports that feels different the moment you watch it live. The movement is fast, fluid, and powerful. Every start matters. Every turn can change the race. And for young athletes, this kind of World Cup experience is a major step onto the international stage.

İzmir makes the week even better. After the races, the city opens up with its Aegean rhythm—seaside walks, Kordon sunsets, Kemeraltı’s historic streets, and easy summer evenings. Even if you are not competing, you will still want to be here—because İzmir turns a Youth World Cup into more than a race week; it becomes a fresh, bright, Aegean sports trip.
