The key role for safety
Swimming 22 kilometers across the IJsselmeer is a true marathon, both physically and mentally. That is why every swimmer and relay team has a coach who watches over their health and safety from start to finish. The coach is the lifeline, mentor, nutrition assistant, and confidant for every swimmer in the water.
Is this really something for you? To make sure that you are the right person to help your friend, we ask you to look at the preconditions below. Does the role suit you? Then register with your relay team or as a coach for your solo swimmer.
And make your crossing a safe success!
Participation is free! Read below what you will receive from us!
