World Aquatics Unveils Three North American Stops for 2025 Swimming World Cup

World Aquatics will hold three events for the 2025 Swimming World Cup in North America with stops in Indiana, Illinois and Toronto throughout October.

Carmel, Indiana, will host the first leg of the tour October 10–12, before Westmont, Illinois, has the second leg from October 17–19. The finale will take place in Toronto from October 23–25.

“Hearing that World Cup 2025 is in North America and close to home is a no-brainer for me,” said Olympic and World Champion Kate Douglass. “I am excited to see how this goes on home soil. I am most looking forward to the U.S. stops because some of my teammates and college swimmers may go. It will be a fun and energetic meet.”

The Carmel region has hosted 11 World Aquatics events, including the 2022 Swimming World Cup final, 2019 Champions Series, 2017 World Junior Swimming Championships and 2004 World Swimming Championships at what was then Conseco Fieldhouse, home of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers.

“Hosting the 2025 World Aquatics Swimming World Cup at Carmel High School’s new natatorium is a tremendous opportunity for Hamilton County,” said Hamilton County Sports Authority Director Carl Daniels. “This state-of-the-art facility showcases Carmel’s commitment to excellence in swimming and provides an outstanding venue for international competition. We’re proud to partner with Carmel Swim Club to bring this prestigious event to our community.”

The series then moves to Westmont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Westmont’s FMC Natatorium at Ty Warner Park has a state-of-the-art, nine-lane pool within a 6,500-square-meter arena with spectator seating on three sides. In March, Westmont hosted the TYR Pro Swim Series at the FMC Natatorium, the first major U.S. senior-level meet following the 2024 Olympic Trials. The upcoming Swimming World Cup event will mark Westmont’s debut as a host city for an international aquatic competition.

The final stop brings the Swimming World Cup to Toronto, which hosted the first World Cup event in 1988. Competition will take place at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre.
