Judges will be located in Canada, USA, and the UK.
The competition will be live streamed on FINA.org, free of charge.
Despite the current context dictated by the pandemic, and recognising the disruptions due to travel restrictions and different requirements and protocols specific to each country, the Grand Prix hosts are finding alternative ways to stage the 2021 circuit. Malaysia, Spain, Germany, Italy and Australia have also voiced their interest in staging one of the legs this year and logistical arrangements are being discussed. Dates will be announced at a later stage.
