You have come to the fourth largest city in Norway with a population of 143 000. Stavanger is a multicultural and multinational city; 22 percent of our citizens have their origin in another country than Norway. I am proud that 189 nationalities are represented in our city. Very much has to do with oil, gas and energy in the North Sea, also this specific competition. The first North Sea Swim Meet was arranged in 1973 as a result of the cooperation between Rogaland Swimming District and Phillips Petroleum Company. Since then, The North Sea Swim Meet has been a big event for the Norwegian swimming elite, and I am sure that also this year the level of participants is high. This competition, together with Stavanger Swimming Pool, that opened in 1971, has provided the swimming community in Rogaland and Norway a fantastic opportunity to develop the swimming towards an international level. Indeed, swimmers in Rogaland has used this opportunity well, as we have over the years been represented by several swimmers that have achieved excellent national and international results. The Covid-19 situation will create an uncertainty of how this event will be organized. Even though we hope that the situation will be resolved soon, we do not know. But what is certain, is that the organizer Rogaland Swimming District will during autumn have a close dialogue with Stavanger Municipality and Norwegian Swimming Federation in order to arrange a safe event. I wish you all an enjoyable stay and hope that you will find some time to explore some of what the city has to offer. Welcome to Stavanger and good luck with the competitions!
