The Asia Swimming Federation (AASF) said they were looking at three Asian countries as the possible host of the event: Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. In the end, the Philippines was chosen because of the newly built and the first FINA-certified facility of the country, the New Clark City Aquatic Center, which was used as a venue for aquatics events at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games previously.[4][5] In December 2019, the AASF, Philippine Swimming (later replaced by Philippine Aquatics), the Bases Conversion and Development Authority, and the Philippine Sports Commission signed a partnership agreement for the Philippines to host the event.[6]
The Philippines was originally chosen to host the Asian Swimming Championships, scheduled to be held from November 7 to 17, 2020, at the new aquatic facilities in New Clark City.[4][5] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was rescheduled to November 7–17, 2021.[7][8] It was then further postponed to 2023.[9]
In October 2023, a request was made by the local organizing committee to Asia Aquatics to further postpone the Asian Age Group Aquatics Championships to February 2024.[10]
