WELCOME TO BELGRADE

The European Aquatics Masters Championships gathers athletes over 25 or 30, depending on national and international rules. This age group of water sports enthusiasts is highly dedicated and motivated in various disciplines such as swimming, diving, artistic swimming, open-water swimming, and water polo.

The multidisciplinary water sports competition is held every second year under the auspices of the European Aquatics (LEN). This year, from 26 June to 6 July, the host city of Belgrade has the opportunity to beat the numbers from the last Masters in Rome and host more than 5,000 athletes from almost 40 European countries at five different locations. During the competition days, over 300 events are planned in five water sports disciplines.

Competitors are divided into different age categories to ensure fair competition among participants of similar ages. The Aquatics Masters Championships is also an excellent opportunity for athletes to travel, meet new places and people, and gain valuable experience on the international sports scene.

The Masters Championships allows contestants older than the usual competitive age to measure their strength and skill by competing with rivals but also with their limits and records. The attractiveness of this manifestation is reflected in the fact that sport is love, challenge, and commitment. Regardless of age and whether the contestants had a successful sports past or discovered their passion later in life, their dedication, perseverance, and sacrifice inspire and excite. That is why the interest in the Masters Championships is great, and the audience is always numerous, enthusiastic, and noisy.

We believe that new records will be set at the European Aquatics Masters Championships in Belgrade, that competitors in water sports will be even faster, more skillful, and more successful, and that many dreams of the most brilliant awards will come true. We are sure the audience will enjoy it and that the athletes will socialize and exchange the most beautiful pictures and memories from Belgrade after the water fights.
