Business: In 5 Steps to the Start


On Sunday, September 8th, we will once again dive into the Amsterdam canals with as many people as possible during the Amsterdam City Swim. Whether you are an experienced participant or joining for the first time, please carefully read the following information before you register.

In 5 steps to the start:

 

1. How you can participate: Business Team or Wave Sponsor

You are invited to participate in a Business Team or Wave Sponsor team because you are associated with the company or because you will be participating with a group of colleagues in the Amsterdam City Swim. The company captain shares a unique link with which you can register for free in the company team.

2. Choose your type of Swim

Will your company participate in the same Swim, or will you choose a different distance?

  • Classic Swim: A 2.1 kilometer long route, open to participants from 15 to 99 years old.
  • Short Swim: A shorter route of 700 meters, also for participants from 15 to 99 years old.
  • Junior Swim: Are you 18 years or older and want to participate with your (grand)child, neighbor's daughter, nephew, niece, or another junior? Then you can join the Junior Swim, specially designed for younger swimmers from 10 to 14 years old, covering a distance of 700 meters. As part of a company team, you register yourself and raise sponsorship money. In August, you will receive an email from us to provide the junior's details so that we can complete the entire registration.

 

3. Determine your swimming level

Provide your* expected swimming time:

You will be automatically assigned to the company unless you are a competitive swimmer. You can always adjust your swimming level in your profile.

*For the Junior Swim, choose the expected swimming time of the Junior.

 

4. Complete your registration

Follow all the steps, make a starting donation if desired, and then your registration is final. You will receive a confirmation email with access to the ACS Platform for updates and fundraising. We ask all participants to commit to raising a minimum target amount of €250 for the ALS Foundation.
