Competition swimming

Competitive swimming is a discipline within AZ&PC De Futen that is involved in competitive sports. The swimming selection consists of approximately 130 competitive swimmers. In addition to the individual character, competitive swimming is certainly also a team sport. The joint result determines the position within the National Swimming Competition (NZC) where AZ&PC De Futen participates in the A class of Region Midwest.
