Bermuda Amateur Swimming Association officials will be keeping a close eye as the International Swimming Federation (FINA) will choose the host cities for the 2021 and 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Budapest on January 31st.
It will coincide with World Aquatics Gala and Award Dinner "Soirée des Etoiles” due to be held in the Hungarian capital on the same day.
A press conference will take place earlier in the day to confirm who has been selected to stage both events following the first meeting in 2016 of the ruling FINA Bureau.
Last June, FINA confirmed it had received expressions of interest from seven countries for the Championships, including Argentina and Turkey, neither of which have hosted the event before.
Melbourne, hosts in 2007, is one of two Australian cities interested along with Sydney, while Wuhan and Nanjing, which staged the 2014 Summer Youth Olympic Games, are in the mix for China.
Doha, which hosted the World Short-Course Championships in December 2014, is also interested in staging the event.
