About Swimming
At Copenhagen Mermates we have five weekly teams with different degrees of difficulty and content. We are approximately 100 lgbtq+ people, and there is room for between 15 and 30 swimmers per day. team.
The most important thing for us is to have fun together. No matter how good you are at swimming, there is room for you at Copenhagen Mermates, both exercisers, competitive swimmers and beginners.
Social activities outside the swimming pool are very important to us. That is why we hold several social activities during the season, e.g. season start party, summer party, Christmas fun or a beer and some food after training.
Write to [email protected] if you want a free trial lesson, which is up to two times swimming.
