European Games 2015 / Swimming
At the 2015 European Games in Baku , Azerbaijan , a total of 42 swimming competitions were held from June 23 to 27, 2015 . The venue was the Baku Aquatics Center .
17 individual competitions were held for men and women, the other eight competitions were relay and mixed races. Since the European swimming federation LEN only agreed to the inclusion of swimming at the European Games after renegotiations, only pure junior competitions were held. The age limit for male adolescents was eighteen and sixteen for girls. The European Games were thus also the 2015 European Youth Championships.
By far the most successful nation was Russia with a total of 42 medals. With 23 gold medals, Russia won more than half of all competitions. The second-placed United Kingdom only won a total of 23 medals, seven of which were gold. Germany followed with three gold medals out of a total of 13 medals.
A total of five new age group world records (WJR) were set.
