The cosiest, and perhaps the most fun masters swim meet - join us on 6th November 2021
Copenhagen Open Masters is a masters swim meet, celebrating its 33 anniversary on 2021. 2020 marked the first year, where COM had to be cancelled - due to Covid-19 pandemic. We continue to hope and wish that our masters community and their friends and families have come through the pandemic. With the release of Covid-19 vaccines, we hope this will promote further normalisation for everyday life for everybody, and of course for sport activities in general.
The 33th COM swim meet takes place on 6th November 2021, 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, and it’s not allowed to bring your own food or drinks. Admission to party only possible by showing the purchased ticket.
All the way from Chile!
