After impressing everyone with our swimming skills in Rotterdam and finishing in 2nd position, which made us 3rd place in the overall ranking, I hope you are all as excited as we are for the next competition! On the weekend of 14-15-16 April, the NSZK III will take place in our lovely capital city Amsterdam! This is our chance to defend the 3rd spot in the championship and after our 2nd spot last time we can maybe even dream of something bigger 😉 So, are you thrilled to swim as fast as you can during an amazing competition and do you want to discover this lovely city? Come join us! Everyone is welcome to join the competition, no matter your level of swimming, and do not worry, there will be plenty of beer, music and dancing afterwards!
The weekend will look the same as all the other NSZK’s, which means that the weekend will start with a pre-drink on Friday. After a good night of sleep at one of the houses from a Spons member we will go to the swimming pool: Het Sloterparkbad (President Allendelaan 3, 1064 GW Amsterdam). I can already tell you that it is quite an experience to swim in this pool, lots of Dutch Olympian swimmers have joined a competition in this pool, and even more interesting, this is the home pool of a part of the Dutch national team! Maybe you will spot one of them there 🙂 After the competition we will have a theme party and we will sleep at one of the houses of a Spons member again!

1. 4×50 breaststroke mix

Keep in mind that you have to pay the transport to Amsterdam yourself.
You can sign-up until the 30th of March.
