The pre-olympic 5th FINA Short Course World Championships were held in Athens, Greece from March 16 till March 19, 2000, just only eleven months after the 1999 edition. The meet resulted in fifteen world records. Two world records were established in the prelims, four in the semi-finals, and nine in the finals.

The USA emerged with most golds with 9, and 25 total medals, as they sent a strong team of university graduates. Their totals could have been higher but for backstroker Lenny Krayzelburg’s injury. Notably, 23 countries shared in the 120 medals, as strong countries like Australia and Germany sent small teams. Canada only sent a team of six (four women and two men), who gave a very good account of themselves with four silvers and one bronze and five Canadian records.

The facility in Athens was outstanding, part of the Olympic complex built in 1990. It includes two outdoor 50-m pools and an indoor 50-m pool with seating on both sides for over 4,000. The outdoor complex was the site of the 1991 European Swimming Championships and the 2004 Summer Olympics.

The 40-event program with three rounds (prelims, semi-finals, and finals) for the 50s (all in one day) and the 100s (over two days) made it impossible for some prominent swimmers to swim their regular events. Many scratched after the first round.
