In March 2022, the International Swimming Federation (FINA, now World Aquatics) suspended Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine. This April, the World Aquatics Bureau supported the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Committee and announced the creation of a working group to examine the possibilities of Russian or Belarusian athletes to participate in international competitions with neutral status.
