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

New Clark City Aquatics Center, the venue for the championships

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.[2][3] 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.[4]

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.[2][3] 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]
