Swimming across the border

The SWIMLAB project aims to provide training and competitive opportunities for young people in swimming, mass promotion of the sport, and foster cross-border contacts between swimming communities. It will also support coach training and introduce diving in Serbia by leveraging the expertise of Makó. Through cooperative activities, events, and public outreach, the project strengthens ties between Hungarian and Serbian sports organizations, promoting both sport and community engagement in the border region. Planned sports events and experience exchanges will establish a sustainable, long-lasting partnership between participants and water sports enthusiasts on both sides of the border. The joint training sessions and competitions are open to all ages, with a special focus on nurturing young talent and inviting wide community participation.
