The Pan Pacific Swimming Championships is a long course swimming event first held in 1985. The meet was initially staged biennially, to allow for an international championship-level meet in the non-Olympic and non-World Championships years. However, beginning with the 2002 championships, due to the changing of the World Championships from every four years to every two years, the meet is a quadrennial event, held in the even year between Summer Olympics.
