SWIM RACE DAYS DORTMUND
Swim Sport Next Level
A few minutes of swimming - lots more waiting - that's how swimming competitions usually go. Swim Race Days are different - there's no chance of boredom here! By separating the age groups (8 - 12 years in the morning, 13 years and older in the afternoon) we avoid unnecessarily long breaks. If you still want to watch the whole event, you can experience exciting competitions with modern formats, qualifications and finals in the livestream. We also offer a great supporting programme. Victory awards, attractive prizes, a light show and thrilling finals await you. It's impossible not to watch our races! Are you ready?

The Swim Race Series : Where Passion Meets Responsibility
The Swim Race Series in Dortmund is more than just a sequence of swimming competitions. For years, we have been setting standards for emotional sporting events and sustainable swimming at the traditional Südbad Dortmund. Whether at the legendary Swim Race Days, the Classic Line or the atmospheric X-MAS Edition – we offer swimmers of all performance levels a stage that goes far beyond simply “swimming laps.”
Redefining Competition Atmosphere
Our goal is to make the fascination of swimming tangible. With professional light shows, thrilling final formats and an electrifying setting, we create an environment usually reserved for international championships. We support youth development in North Rhine-Westphalia while providing top athletes with the perfect 50-meter pool infrastructure to chase personal bests.
Pioneers of Sustainability in Sport
As organizers of the Swim Race Series, we are fully aware of our ecological responsibility. We are among the first swimming events in the German-speaking region to consistently implement a comprehensive sustainability concept:
- Waste Reduction: We largely avoid single-use plastics and rely on digital documentation instead of excessive paper use.
- Recycling: Our participant wristbands and lanyards are designed for reuse.
- Regional Partners: We work primarily with local providers to minimize CO₂ emissions through short transport routes.
