THE 2027 MOTTO

Der Sommer hat ein Original.

In 2027, Splashdiving returns to the open-air pool. The original is everyone who jumps. In every pool. All summer long.

A reunion. A new chapter.

LEGENDS REUNION

Every generation. Every championship year.

Personal invitations are planned for all former World Championship participants, with special recognition for gold, silver and bronze medallists. Their stories, achievements and connection to the sport belong at the centre of the anniversary.

Did you compete at a previous World Championship, or can you help reconnect with someone who did? Tell us the year, the name used in competition and, where possible, a results reference or details of original records. This helps us check the historical participant list. Please do not share another person’s private contact details without their agreement. Providing information does not create an invitation or a confirmed competition place.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

A world title for the best of the scene.

A world championship is planned as the sporting centrepiece. Established names and the strongest athletes of today should have a shared stage.

Competition categories, entry criteria, qualification and judging will be published only after the format and rulebook have been finalised.

The current planning status.

Date
Not confirmed
Venue
Not confirmed

June/July 2027 is the target window for the anniversary. Neither a date nor a venue is confirmed. The location search starts from 89 possible pools; this does not mean 89 hosts have agreed to take part. A potential title partner and other partners may be involved in venue discussions, but are not being announced as confirmed. Registration, ticket sales and competition-place reservations are not available here. Please do not book travel or accommodation on the basis of this planning information.

What happens next.

Bring the generations together

Verify results and participation, complete the historical list and prepare personal invitations. The list will not be filled with unverified titles.

Meet the legends ↗

Build the event

Clarify venue, partners, delivery, safety planning and the competition framework. Only then can confirmed event details follow.

Interested in contributing as an athlete, host or partner? Tell Oliver Hillebrecht at SPLASHDIVING International about your connection to the anniversary and what you would like to contribute. Pools and cities can describe their facility, contact person and possible dates; potential partners can outline their interest and proposed involvement. The contact link opens your email application so you can review and send the message yourself. An enquiry is not registration, a commission or confirmation of an event.
