1914 Finnish championships in aquatics
# 1914 Finnish championships in aquatics

From 1906 to 1926, the Finnish Swimming Federation did not arrange a dedicated national competition, but spread out the hosting duties of the championship events to multiple clubs.

Few of the championship events were held before the opening of the World War I prompted the federation to cancel them.
