Copenhagen Open Masters is a masters swim meet, celebrating its 34 anniversary on 2022. The 33th COM swim meet takes place on 5th November 2022, 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 and 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, 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 at very reasonable prizes.
Please note, it’s a requirement to be at the party, in order to receive the prizes won.
All the way from Chile!
