The Asian Swimming Federation will meet shortly to select the country to host and organise the 2003 Asian Age Group Swimming and Diving Championships.

Normally this popular meet is held in June-July with record number of swimmers and divers participating. This year's meet was held in China. Three countries - Indonesia, Chinese Taipei and Qatar have bid to host the 2003 championships.

According to reliable sources, Qatar is strongly tipped to get the chance of hosting the 2003 championships. If Qatar is nominated, it will be the first time that a country from Middle-East will be holding a major swimming meet.

Chinese Taipei has conducted this meet on four occasions since 1986.
