Swimming
The Queer Sport swimming section has about twenty active members. In addition to swim practices and participating in LGBTQIA+ sports competitions and swim marathons, the section also occasionally organizes fun activities like group trips. With its weekly training sessions, the swimming section strives to fill the generally insufficient opportunities for adult swim training in Zagreb by providing an LGBTQIA-friendly atmosphere for all interested swimmers.
Weekly trainings
Training sessions are held every Sunday at 11:30 AM (gathering at 11:00 AM), led by professional swim coaches. We are divided by our current fitness and skill level. For beginners, the emphasis is on mastering proper swimming technique and learning the correct movements, while workouts for more advanced swimmers are more intense and, in addition to perfecting technique, are also focused on improving fitness. In addition to the regular weekly training, many members also participate in extra sessions during the week, by arrangement.
Competition Participation
Queer Sport's swimmers participate in European and World LGBTQIA+ sports games and club tournaments, where they also achieve notable results. They have competed in tournaments and games in Vienna, Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Rotterdam, London, Budapest… In addition to all swimming-related activities, the section also organizes informal get-togethers and group outings, as well as trips such as attending the swimming marathon in Vis and Poreč, or field trips including swimming training sessions in Rijeka, Zadar, Split, and Ljubljana.
Prior knowledge and fitness level are not important
Extensive swimming experience or fitness are not required to join the swimming team! While we strive for the best possible results, we are a recreational team, not a professional one. That's why motivation and a desire for personal growth and improvement are the most important factors for participation. As in all other Queer Sport sections, there is a strong sense of community and tolerance within the swim team, and our goal is to provide a friendly, safe, and encouraging environment for everyone who loves to swim.
See you at the pool :)
