Dear Swimmers,

This is a brief update with the information on the upcoming event in Vienna in February. All the details are here: VIVA – Vienna Valentine.

As you have probably seen in the group chat “IAG 2024 SWIMMING” – Organizers have confirmed that swimmers do NOT need to be registered with a club in their country or have a licence to compete.  They have further confirmed that if there is interest, we could form relays and swim all together under one ‘Team UN.’

As we all know – the more, the marrier!

Our usual summer party/swim/dinner in Zum Straba is coming up soon, and we would like you to choose a day that is most convenient for as many of us as possible.

Please pick the date that suits you best: Link to vote on the date

Some of us will be swimming there, and you may join us if you’d like to. The route is below; we’ll meet by the U1 station, just outside the UN, and walk together to Kaiserwasser. There will be a person to collect clothes and he/she will bring it to the Zum Straba. The leg is about 2 km, and we shall meet at 17:30 to allow a comfy swim and be ready to eat by 18:30. For the swim you are welcome to use fins, paddles, any other device of your choice 😉

If you would rather not swim, you can meet us at the restaurant around 18:30. In any case, kindly confirm your participation in the event so we can make a reservation at the restaurant.

This is a sprint distance triathlon for the VIC runners club, friends, and family. Competition for individual starters or relay teams of 2 or 3 people for fun. No fame, no world cup points, just fun.
Optional, you can do an (almost) Olympic distance by doubling the individual distances (2 laps swim, then 2 laps cycling and finally 2 laps running). Please let us know at registration if you want to go for this option.

Please follow the link to know the details

Dear Swimmers, as a portion of good news for everyone, please be aware that our common meeting/training place, also known as Stadionbad, is finally ready to welcome its visitors. The date when you can start your outdoor swimming season (if not done so yet), is the 1st of May. To learn about the schedule and prices, don’t hesitate to visit the official web page here. Enjoy swimming!

This pasted weekend, Akos, Niki and our captain Marianna participated in the 11th Vienna International Masters Championships. They had a lot of fun, accomplished personal bests on some distances and earned medals! The event details can be found here.

Cheers and hugs to our master representatives! Some more photos from the event are available in the VIC Swimmers Photo Album.
