MOSCOW, August 13. /TASS/. Russia’s artistic swimming athletes will go on vacation following the 2026 European Aquatics Championships in Paris and will begin preparing for national team try-outs in October, Svetlana Romashina, the team’s head coach, told TASS on Thursday.
The 2026 European Aquatics Championships take place in Paris between July 31 and August 16 at the 5,000-seat capacity Paris Aquatic Center.
Led by Head Coach Romashina, Russia’s team of artistic swimmers won three gold, one silver and three bronze medals at the 2026 European Aquatics Championships in France, taking second in the overall medals’ standings.
"Our biggest goal right now is to get some rest. Everyone needs to recover: coaches, athletes as well as our accompanying specialists, because this was a really grueling event," Romashina stated.
"Next, in October, we will have a screening and try-outs for the national team," she continued. "Absolutely all athletes will participate."
