World Para Swimming European Championships

Since 2020, non-Europeans have been allowed to compete, increasingly the depth and quality of the fields, and in this behalf the Championships are also called the World Para Swimming European Open Championships.

Under this format, the European swimmers are competing simultaneously for continental medals and 'open championship' medals, whereas the guest non-Europeans are only eligible for 'open championship' medals, and are ignored for the purposes of the European Championship medals.

At the single combined medal ceremony, any European swimmer is awarded the greater of their two possible medals which is always the European Championship medal for that race. A non-European swimmer will be awarded a 'commemorative medal' of the rank they finished in the Open championship race, normally identical to the European Championship medal but with a modified edge colour. In this manner, a non-European finishing second in the final, and a European finishing third overall in the same final, but second European, will both be awarded a silver medal, in the Open championship and the European Championship respectively.
