Fully Booked

Dear Swimmers,

We are delighted with the tremendous support for the crossing, but unfortunately we must inform you that all places for SwimÖresund are fully booked for the coming years.

The interest in SwimÖresund has been overwhelming. For safety and logistical reasons, we are unfortunately unable to organize more crossings than we already do at this time…
