2023 European Short Course Swimming Championships: Full Schedule and Preview

The 2023 European Short Course Swimming Championships, which take place in Otopeni, Romania, from December 5–10, will feature competition between many of Europe’s best swimmers.

Olympic gold medallists Duncan Scott, Kathleen Dawson, Tom Dean, and Florent Manaudou have all committed to competing as they get ready for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

The world record-holder in the men’s 100-meter freestyle, David Popovici, will undoubtedly receive the loudest applause, while Maxime Grousset, the current French champion in the men’s 100-meter butterfly, is aiming to win his first continental short course championship.

Kira Toussaint, the nine-time European short course champion, and her countryman Arno Kamminga, the double Olympic silver medallist, lead a formidable Netherlands team that hopes to add more titles to their collection.

Last but not least, on a thrilling opening night, keep an eye out for Danas Rapsys of Lithuania, the former 400-meter free world champion, who will be attempting to reclaim his title from 2018.
