PLL Legal & Cross-Border Practice

Swimming & aquatics

Selection and qualification, anti-doping defence and competition eligibility across the aquatic disciplines.

Aquatics matters combine anti-doping, selection and eligibility work with competition and technical rule disputes across several disciplines.

We act in World Aquatics and national federation proceedings, in selection challenges and in anti-doping defence.
