FINA World Swimming Championships
The FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) or "Short Course Worlds" (as they are sometimes known), is an international swimming competition. It is swum in a short course (25m) pool, and has been held in the years when FINA has not held its main World Championships (currently this means in even years).
Unlike the FINA World Championships, this championship is swimming-only (the World Championships feature all 5 Aquatics disciplines), and is contested in a short course, 25-meter pool (rather than a long course, 50-meter pool).

Of memory, blind school of cuttlefish,
Rise to the air, plunge to the cold streams....”
