The World Aquatics Championships Arena — a purpose-built venue designed to bring the world’s best aquatic athletes together — has been officially unveiled in Singapore. The state-of-the-art venue will serve as the main competition pool for the World Aquatics Championships – Singapore 2025, featuring swimming and artistic swimming events, and will also host the Masters Swimming and Water Polo competitions during the World Aquatics Masters Championships (26 July–22 August).

Construction of the WCH Arena was led by Kin Productions, the Official Venue Overlay Planning Services Partner for the event. The venue will be powered by Singtel, the Official Network Connectivity Partner for the World Championships, delivering world‑class connectivity through a bespoke 5G+ network. The technology, employing network slicing, will provide tailored, high-performance segments for media, security, and operations teams, ensuring a smooth experience across all aspects of the competition.

Before the world’s elite athletes take centre stage, the WCH Arena will first host the artistic swimming and swimming competitions for the Southeast Asian Age Group Swimming Championships from 20 to 27 June. Other events will be staged at two additional world-class locations — the OCBC Aquatic Centre and Sentosa (Palawan Green).
