    Hello IWSA Team, gibt es schon einen Veranstaltungsort für die WM2026?
    Findet das Schwimmen im See oder in einem Pool statt?

      Hi Anke,
      WSWC 2026 will happen in March of 2026, in Oulu, Finland. Don’t have an exact venue yet, but most likely a pool on open waters. You can always find updates regarding WSWC here, and also follow our social media, @iwsa.official
