The Korea Swimming Federation (Chairman Chung Chang-hoon) held a 2026 artistic swimming national team and national candidate competition at Gimcheon Indoor Swimming Pool in Gyeongsangbuk-do on the 28th to select candidates for major international stages in the 2026 season.
Until now, the artistic swimming national team selection competition has been held every November, but this year, it was held about two months earlier than usual to secure a sufficient preparation period for the 20th Aichi and Nagoya Asian Games next year.
The top four players will be selected for 2026 national team reinforcement training based on a perfect score through four major evaluation items, including artistic swimming's basic skills, five technical senior essentials and solo free performance.
Heo Yoon-seo (Sungkyunkwan University), who ranked fourth in the duet at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and participated in the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, received the highest score among the participants with a total of 69.0221 points in the selection match held on the same day, making him likely to select the national team for seven consecutive years from 2020.
The federation will soon hold a performance improvement committee to form a new team based on the results of today's selection match and start full-fledged training for next year's Asian Games at Jincheon National Training Center after mid-October.
