First of all, we hope that you are all well, and that you have taken measures to stay safe from the Corona pandemic. Hopefully this will pass, and we will be waiting to welcome you once again ❤️.

Copenhagen Open Masters is a masters swim meet, on its 33 anniversary this year. The swim meet takes place on 7th November 2020, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The swim meet is sprint oriented, and has always been known for its cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Nevertheless the meet does not lack in quality, as it's visited by former olympians, masters world record holders. The swim meet attracts masters swimmers from mostly Europe, due to its central positioning, the pool, the hotels, and the party location are all very close to Copenhagen Airport.

The highlight of the swim meet, is the party. At the party, swimmers can mingle at the dinner tables, watch the the prize ceremony, and once the music begins, there’s dancing. At the bar, one can buy wine, shots, and of course the famous Danish seasonal beer, Carslberg Julebryg (Christmas brew), released every year in November. All for very reasonable prizes.

Please note, it’s a requirement to be at the party, in order to receive the prizes won, and it’s not allowed to bring your own food or drinks. Admission to party only possible by showing the purchased ticket.

Nicolas Villaroel came all the way from Chile! Yes he did! Listen to this short interview, and be inspired. Copenhagen Open Masters is a cosy swim meet, meant to gather masters swimmers from all over the world.

A 1984-Olympian on a 27-year taper, a multiple masters record holder out of the pool for 10 years, and a ghost who returns every 5 years. All in the same age group and in the same heat! Can it be more dramatic? Click and see how it went.
