2015 World Aquatics Championships

Main article: Swimming at the 2015 World Aquatics Championships

At the 2015 World Aquatics Championships, Sri Lanka's national federation was suspended from recognition and therefore not allowed to be represented at the championships. Consequently, athletes from Sri Lanka swam under a "FINA" banner at the championships as independent athletes.[1] The 2015 World Championships were 24 July to 9 August 2015 in Kazan, Russia.

Four swimmers from Sri Lanka competed in nine different events, including two medley races.[2][3]
