IPC Swimming World Championships

The World Para Swimming Championships, known before 30 November 2016 as the IPC Swimming World Championships, are the world championships for swimming where athletes with a disability compete. They are organised by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) on a four-year rotation with the Paralympic Games (every four years) and regional championships (every two years).

On 30 November 2016, the IPC, which serves as the international federation for 10 disability sports, including swimming, adopted the "World Para" brand for all 10 sports. The world championship events in all of these sports were immediately rebranded as "World Para" championships.

The first short course (25 m) world championships was held in December 2009 in Rio de Janeiro.
