Windsor will host 1,000 of the world’s best swimmers from more than 176 countries as they compete in the FINA World Swimming Championships next week. They will compete for 46 gold medals in a temporary, 25-metre championship pool that has been installed in the WFCU Centre.

It’s the first time the FINA event has been held in Canada, and a number of complimentary tickets are now available to the campus community on a first-come, first-served basis.

This includes the opening ceremony at Caesars Windsor on Monday evening, December 5, and both the heats and finals that will be held at the WFCU Centre. Heats begin at 9:30 a.m. and the finals at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, December 6 to 11.

Tickets include free parking at the WFCU Centre and may be picked up at the Office of Public Affairs and Communications, room 209 in the Welcome Centre, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
