British Swimming is delighted to confirm that the FINA/CNSG Diving World Series will return to the UK in 2020, a key meet in the build up to the Olympic Games.
After staging a sensational finale to the series in 2019, the London Aquatics Centre will once again welcome the world’s best divers as the series concludes in the UK capital once more.
The Diving World Series 2020 will be staged over four legs, starting in Montreal (CAN) on 28 February – 1 March. The circuit will then move to Beijing (CHN) from 6-8 March and Kazan (RUS) from 20-22 March before culminating in London from 27-29 March.
By virtue of their success in last year’s series and at the FINA World Championships in Gwangju, Jack Laugher, Tom Daley and Grace Reid have all secured automatic spots for all four rounds, as have GB pairings in both the Men’s 3m and Men’s 10m Synchro events.
At the 2019 edition Jack Laugher and Tom Daley were crowned overall series champions in the 3m Springboard and 10m Platform respectively, whilst Great Britain won six medals in total.
