Thailand's artistic swimming team preparing for the 20th Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan has returned home after an intensive month-long training camp in Europe, bringing back championship titles. The 13-athlete, four-coach delegation trained in Italy and competed across Hungary and Switzerland from April 7 onwards, aiming to enhance their technical skills, physical conditioning, and modernize their routines to meet international standards.
During their European competition tour across three countries, the Thai team delivered exceptional results, winning championships in Brescia, Italy; Hungary's national championship; and Switzerland's youth championship. Coach Thanawit Tossakul explained that sending this primarily young team abroad was to gain international competition experience and identify their strengths and weaknesses. The association will next assess the team's performance at the Asian Age Group Championships 2026, hosted by Thailand from July 17-25, before setting Asian Games targets with the goal of surpassing their previous performance.
Thailand's European results include: Six gold medals and one silver at Italy's Brixia Open in Brescia (from duet and team routines); two gold and one silver at Hungary's 34th National Open Championship in Budapest; and two gold, one silver, and one bronze at Switzerland's 18th Youth Competition in Oberkirch (from duet, team, and acrobatic routines).
