Stockholm Open Water Race (1900m/3800m) - 10 aug

The Stockholm Open Water Race invites swimmers of all levels to dive into the picturesque Järlasjön lake in Nacka for an enjoyable and safe aquatic adventure. Whether you choose the 1900-meter or 3800-meter course, this event offers a unique opportunity to experience swimming in one of Sweden's most beautiful natural settings.
Participants need not be members of any organization nor hold specific licenses; all that is required is a sense of fun and good health to complete the chosen distance. The race takes place on open water, primarily using freestyle strokes, providing an exhilarating challenge amidst serene surroundings.
Registration opens at 5:30 PM with check-in closing promptly at 6:00 PM. A brief meeting will be held at 6:10 PM followed by the start of the race at 6:30 PM sharp. Swimmers are encouraged to warm up both in and out of the water before the event, which helps prevent cramps and prepares the body for higher exertion levels.
The venue is located on Järla Gårdsväg 55, Nacka (131 61), with parking available nearby within the residential area. Participants can also look forward to a light snack included in their registration fee along with pre-drawn prizes awarded at check-in.
Safety is paramount for this event; support boats will be stationed throughout the course should any assistance be needed during the race. Swimmers are reminded that participation occurs entirely at one's own risk, and while age restrictions apply (minimum 13 years old), no wetsuits or aids like flippers or paddles are permitted.
In case of severe weather conditions such as thunderstorms, the event may be postponed or cancelled for safety reasons. Updates regarding any changes will be communicated through the official website, Facebook page, and Instagram channel.
