Open water swimming at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships – Mixed 4 × 1500 metre relay

Each athlete swam 1500 m. The teams consisted of two men and two women,^[1] meaning each team completed 6 km in total.^[2] The men and women could swim in any order through the relay.^[1]

Each World Aquatics member federation could enter one team.^[1]

The race took place at 10:30 AST on 8 February^[3] at Doha Port in Doha, Qatar.^[4]

The teams that led with male swimmers – including China, South Korea, and Turkey – formed the leading group during the early stages of the race.^[5] Over the third leg, Italy and Australia created a gap between themselves and the rest of the field.^[5] Australia's Nicholas Sloman was leading halfway through the third leg, before Italy's Gregorio Paltrinieri overtook him to make Italy the first team to reach the final changeover.^[6] Australia's Kyle Lee and Italy's Domenico Acerenza raced each other over the final leg; Liz Byrnes from Swimming World wrote that they were having their own "private battle" for the gold. Acerenza was in the lead going into the final straight, but Lee caught up and drew level near the finish.^[7][6][5] Australia won with a time of 1:03:28.0, 0.2 seconds ahead of Italy, who finished second with 1:03:28.2.^[8][9][10] Hungary's Kristóf Rasovszky overtook Germany and the United States on the final leg to win bronze for his team with a time of 1:04:06.8.^[5][6][8] Germany finished fourth with 1:04:11.6.^[7][8]

The Guardian called Australia's win "nail-biting" and wrote that Lee's race with Acerenza over the last leg was a "remarkable duel".^[9] After the race, Lee said "I just tried to stay calm and it is so hectic in that finishing chute ... I guess I got lucky on the touch."^[9][7] It was the first time since 2011 that the open water team event at the Championships had been won by a non-European team, and it was the first time Australia had claimed the title.^[5]
