South Africa has won the right to host the International Paralympic Committee's (IPC) Swimming World Championships in Durban in December.
A total of 600 swimmers and 265 officials from 60 countries will arrive in Durban for the December 2-8 championships which take place every four years and are second only to the IPC Athletics World Championships in size and prestige.
The successful bid came about in large part because of a strong partnership between Disability Sport South Africa, Swimming South Africa, the eThekwini Municipality and main sponsor Telkom.
