Swimming
Just keep swimming
The Swimming tournament will take place at Hallenbad Wyler, a 25 metre pool with five lanes and an additional pool for warming up.
A sport defined by a strict gender binary, we look forward to offering a third gender category for nonbinary athletes. Male categories are open to all who identify as male and female categories are open to all who identify as female.
