Welcome to Copenhagen Swim – a 2km open water swim through the canals of Copenhagen in Denmark. The event is held on a truly iconic course - around the Da- nish Parliament Buildings (Christiansborg).
In Danish the swim is called ‘Christiansborg Rundt’ – to swim around Christiansborg.
Since 2006 Copenhagen Swim/Christiansborg Rundt has welcomed 20,000 partici- pants of all abilities who complete the event either as an individual or as part of a team. We hope this year you will be one of them. After all, in what other European capital is the water in the harbour so clean that you can swim in the centre of the city? And where else in the world can you swim around Parliament?
In this info sheet you will find all the necessary information about the Copenhagen Swim.

The canals are not normally open for the public to swim in making this a particularly unique experience.
Each team has 4 team members who each swim 500m along the same course used for the Individual swim event.

13 GENERAL INFORMATION REGISTRATION Instead of picking up your participant pack on Saturday you can alternatively register and pick it up on Friday the 24th of August from 2pm-7pm. However if you register on Friday please note you will need to write your own race number on your hand before you enter the event on Saturday.
The registration tent is placed on the square next to the Tøjhusmuseet on the other side of Christians Brygge.
At registration you will receive your participant pack with a swim cap and a timing chip. If you have signed up for a t-shirt you will also receive this. Additionally if you have pre-ordered food for after the event, there will be a food voucher in the envelope.
Please go to the swimming area 15 minutes before your expected start time. From here you will be guided to the start line.
TIMING The finish line and timing happens when you reach the pontoon at the end of the course. We therefore recommend that all participants move as quickly and safely as possible when coming up the stairs and take extreme care when doing so. Please also take care of each other to ensure that no one gets hurt.
When you have reached the pontoon you must move quickly across the pontoon and continue to the participation area. Here you will receive your medal and you shall take off your timing chip. After this you will then receive water and fruit.
You have to wear the timing chip around your wrist or your ankle and it is essential that you make sure the chip cannot fall off. Make sure the timing chip is NOT underneath your wetsuit or your time will not be registered.
For safety reasons you also need to wear the swim cap provided during your swim. In addition, please write your starting number on your hand.
CHANGING ROOMS AND STORAGE OF YOUR BELONGINGS There will be Changing Tents available in the area behind the Registration Tent.
There will also be a Storage Tent in the starting area where you can hand in any luggage that you need stored during the event. However the organizers do not take responsibility for the effects.
14 You have to pick up your luggage immediately after your swim and in order to retrieve your belongings you will need to show your Race Number.
After your swim it will also be possible to have a shower in the Shower Wagon placed outside the swimmers area.
WETSUIT While it is not compulsory to wear a wetsuit, The Danish Swimming Federation recom- mends and encourages that all participants do so.
A wetsuit ensures that you will not be unnecessarily cooled down during the swim and it will also aid your buoyancy. Both of which helps ensures your safety and enjoyment of this event.
HEAT START 15 minutes before expected start, please go to the swimmers area, from where you will be guided to the start area.
For the Krüger Relay it also applies: The first swimmer of the team should go to the swimmers area 15 minutes before start, from where he or she will be guided to the start area. The other participants of the team should go to the other changing places in enough time before the start of the Krüger Relay. See the changing places on the map page 8.
This beautiful and truly iconic swim course is 2km long around Christiansborg (the Danish Parliament). It is in open water and the city canals and passes many famous Danish buildings. Each swimmer in your team will swim 500m.
The first swimmer will start by Den Sorte Diamant (The Black Diamond) and will swim towards Nationalbanken, where the second swimmer will be waiting. The se- cond swimmer will then swim to Gammel Strand where the third swimmer will then begin. The last swimmer will start around half way through Frederiksholm Canal and will then swim to the finish line by Den Sorte Diamant (The Black Diamond). Each section is approximately 500m long.
There will be a floating barge in the harbour to protect the swimmers from ships and any other vessels. The finish line will be at a floating pontoon.
Team members must carry and pass on to fellow team members a ‘baton’ (a rubber wristband) during the swim. It is the responsibility of each team member to pass this on when they ‘tag’ each new swimmer. Every team must ensure they bring this ‘bat- on’ (rubber wristband to the finish line.)
15 COURSE AND SAFETY Lifeguards are present all along the course, and you can get in touch with them by waving your one arm. If you are in distress, you can signal by waving with both arms stretched above the head.
Additionally the best security on course is also provided when all swimmers watch out for each other. Please be mindful of other swimmers and if you should see someo- ne who needs assistance and who is unable to signal to a lifeguard, then please do so on their behalf.
If the lifeguards believe that it is not safe to let you swim any further, you will be withdrawn from the race. If for some reason you stop in the middle of the race, it is very important that you contact the nearest lifeguard / official who can report your withdrawal to the management of the race.
MEDALS FOR ALL WHO FINISH THE RACE Once you have crossed the finish line on land you will receive your “TrygFonden Copenhagen Swim” medal for completing the race. This medal is a bronze medal.
If you are swimming for the fourth, fifth or sixth time at “TrygFonden Copenhagen Swim” then you will receive a silver medal. And finally, if it’s the seventh time or more that you have completed the “TrygFonden Copenhagen Swim” you will receive a gold medal.
16 AGEGROUP WINNERS When entering Swim Copenhagen all participants (excluding the elite swimmers) are allocated into their corresponding age group. The winner of each age group will be recognised at the end of the event.
Age Groups for Swim Copenhagen are:
Age Group 18 years of age and younger 19-24 25-29 30-34 35-39 40-44 45-49 50-54 55-59 60-64 65-69 70-74 75-79 80 +
RESULTS AND DIPLOMAS The results will be published on www.openwater.dk (Sportstiming.dk). From there, diplomas also can be printed after the event.
17 CATERING After you have finished the event and have returned your timing chip you will receive a piece of fruit sponsored by REMA1000 and half a litre of water from Egekilde. You will also have the opportunity to stay warm with coffee and tea in the Swimmers area.
If you need extra warmth, you can have a hot shower in the shower wagon just outsi- de the swimmers area.
Please use the transparent plastic bags around the site for your empty plastic bottles.
FIRST AID By the finish area where your timing chip is removed, there will be a First Aid tent. In this tent there will be a doctor and First Aid staff who will help you if needed.
WATER QUALITY The Copenhagen municipality’s environmental control indicates that the water quali- ty is currently good.
With now only a few days to the event start, the Danish Swimming Federation looks positively on the water conditions in the channels around the “TrygFonden Copenha- gen Swim” area.
We will share an updated water quality report on The Danish Swimming Federation’s website - www.svoem.org on Friday 24th August at 22:00. Please check this site for the latest news on water quality then.
