The 15th World Short Course Swimming Championships will be held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, from December 16 to 21, where ST Olympic champions Zhang Yufei, Wang Shun and Li Bingjie will lead the Chinese team to participate, and Olympic champion Quan Hongchan and others will try to "jump the sea" for the first time in the diving exhibition competition.

First, let's take a look at what a "short pool game" is.
The short pool length is 25 meters, compared to the standard pool of the Olympic and World Championships is 50 meters, but the distance between the various events will not change due to the shortening of the venue.
Compared with the long pool, the short pool requires more physical distribution of athletes during the parade, and the details of the departure and in-water turning are also higher than those of the 50-meter Olympic swim lane. This is why Olympic champions such as Zhang Yufei need short pool refinement techniques.
According to Xinhua News Agency, in the 27-man Chinese swimming team lineup, the Tokyo Olympics two Jinde advocated that YuFei would experience the "butterfly package" and participate in the 50, 100 and 200-meter butterfly events.
Her 4× 200m freestyle relay Olympic champion Teammate Li Bingjie will compete in the 400 and 800m freestyles; Wang Shun signed up for the men's 200m and 400m medleys and strives to achieve a three-game championship in the short pool in the 200m medley.
This year's Short Pool Swimming World Championships is called the "Water Carnival", and for the first time, it is included in the marathon swimming, diving exhibition race and the high platform diving qualification of the 2022 Swimming World Championships.

It is reported that the venue of the diving exhibition competition will be located on the seashore for the first time, sharing the same "diving rack" with the high platform diving.
Unlike the fixed 3-meter board and 10-meter platform of the Olympic diving event, the high-platform diving platform is often a temporary structure, and the competition height is 20 meters for women and 27 meters for men.
On the 20th, the women's 10m platform Olympic champion Quan Hongchan, the women's doubles 3m board Olympic champion Wang Han, and the male athletes Li Zheng and Lian Junjie will usher in the first "jumping sea" challenge on the scaffolding jumping platform on the seashore in Abu Dhabi.
