You sign up for a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 distances, so if you don’t want to swim all of them, you are more than welcome to join. All times swam are officially recorded.
At the end of the day, everyone takes part in the spectacular 10 x 50 meter relay. The teams are formed randomly, which creates a fun and surprising mix of participants.
