Now it's time to talk about the sport that all this revolves around: swimrun. For those of you new to the sport, swimrun is a combination of swimming and running over varying terrain. Swimrun is about moving seamlessly between the elements, discovering and exploring, usually in scenic surroundings. A swimrun can consist of a handful of intervals of each up to ultraswimrun with 30-40 intervals of each. Quick transitions between swim & run.

The sport has its roots in Sweden and was born out of adventurous souls who wanted to test their limits. Today, swimrun is a global sport with competitions and communities all over the world.

Equipment: Swim suit, pull buoy, paddles, trail shoes, goggles. You run in the wetsuit and swim in the trail shoes. The paddles give you power and the daggerboard gives you buoyancy! Many swimmers who swim in pairs use an elastic pull cord between them to distribute power and energy.

Swimrun can be practiced; individually, in teams or in groups, Swimrun occurs as a form of competition, social events or individual training. At its core, we believe it is a team sport.

Swimrun is characterized by community, curiosity and can be anything from a quiet excursion to a challenging, performance-oriented competition!

Thanks to the alternation between running and swimming, you get a full-body workout, and the relatively short distances mean that even those who can't do long-distance running or aren't professional swimmers can take part! The alternation between swimming and running means that the sport can be practiced in many different temperatures.

Swimrun is one of the world's most equal sports with about 50/50 women / men. As for the average age, we are working to lower it, among other things due to the lack of associations and clubs with youth activities, entry is mainly via other sports in ages from 20-25 and up.

Swimrun gives you the opportunity to constantly develop as an athlete, for example by constantly improving your swimming technique.
