FINA athletes at the World Aquatics Championships
From 2015 to 2022 when the World Aquatics was still known as FINA (; ), neutral athletes have competed under the designation Independent FINA Athlete (IFA)  either due to their national federation's suspension of their governing body or as refugees. Refugees have competed under the designation Athlete Refugee Team (ART) under the World Aquatics banner at the World Championships since 2023. 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. 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. Men
