蹼泳運動始於40年代中期，1986年國際奧會承認世界水中運動聯盟CMAS(The World Underwater Federation)為競技運動團體，在游泳池中進行的蹼泳為運動競技項目，將之列入世界運動會比賽項目。CMAS現有130個會員團體。
近年來CMAS努力在世界各地推廣蹼泳，目前已獲FUSI(世界大學運動會)認可連續2年辦理世界大學錦標賽，並在2013喀山世大運、2015歐洲運動會上舉辦示範賽，2020東京奧運會也列為Prelist項目，未來極可能列為FUSI必辦的競賽項目，或甚至列為奧運項目之一。
亞洲蹼泳錦標賽為教育部國光體育獎章(金)的獎勵賽事之一，我國選手於過去兩屆亞錦賽計獲5金12銀12銅，已有4人5項獲頒國光體育獎章(金)。第一屆亞洲蹼泳錦標賽於1989年11月在日本名古屋舉行，每二年舉行乙次，本次比賽為第15屆。過去僅在高雄國際游泳池舉辦過2次國際正式蹼泳比賽，分別是2009年世界運動會與2010年第12屆亞洲蹼泳錦標賽。這是CMAS第一次在台北舉辦的國際蹼泳錦標賽，由於比賽場地是2017年世界大學運動會比賽的預定場地，各國選手都很有興趣，預計將有11國、250位以上的亞洲地區選手參加比賽，期待本次比賽能夠帶動國內蹼泳風潮，提昇國內選手實力並為國爭光。
