The 11th Asian Age Group Aquatics Championships was held from February 26 to March 9, 2024, at New Clark City in Capas, Philippines.[1]

Host selection

The Asia Swimming Federation (AASF) said they were considering three Asian countries as possible host of the event: Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. In the end, the Philippines was chosen because of the newly built and the first FINA-certified facility of the country, the New Clark City Aquatic Center, which had been used as a venue for aquatics events at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games. In December 2019, the AASF, Philippine Swimming (later replaced by Philippine Aquatics), the Bases Conversion and Development Authority, and the Philippine Sports Commission signed a partnership agreement for the Philippines to host the event.[2]

Postponement

The Philippines was originally chosen to host the Asian Swimming Championships, scheduled to be held from November 7 to 17, 2020, at the new aquatic facilities in New Clark City.[3] [4] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was rescheduled to November 7–17, 2021.[5] [6] It was then further postponed to 2023.[7]

In October 2023, a request was made by the local organizing committee to Asia Aquatics to further postpone the Asian Age Group Aquatics Championships to February 2024.[8]
