2,200 aquatic athletes from 181 nations are taking part in the 14th FINA WorldChampionships. They will be televised by 65 different television networks around the world with television broadcasts in high definition in 190 territories.
There are also 6,000 accreditations (media representatives, athletes, coaches, officials and administrators) for those who are taking part.
It will certainly be one huge global celebration of aquatic excellence starting next week.
