On September 19-20, 2015, the YMCA of Central Florida will be hosting the 10th anniversary of the EU Swim, an international short course meters competition open to swimmers of all ages and levels from around the world.
Since its inception in Paris in 2006, the competition has been held in a different city and country each year, including Belgium, Poland, Switzerland, Hungary, Finland and Estonia. It has attracted between 200-600 swimmers from up to 12 countries each year, from Olympians to young swimmers participating in their very first competition. This year marks the first time that the competition will be held in the United States. Although the name reflects its European origins, the EU Swim is truly international and inclusive to all, embracing a “swimmers without borders” approach.
This is a wonderful opportunity for all swimmers, whether Masters or age groupers, to swim fast and swim together in celebration of the sport we all love.
To register, please check out the listing on the USMS Event Calendar here.
