The race calendar is an open, ad-free list of pool meets and open-water swim races across Europe. We curate events that amateurs and masters swimmers actually want to enter — from local club meets to legendary marathon crossings.
Finding the next race used to mean trawling federation PDFs and a dozen organizer sites in three languages. Race the Water gathers them in one calm place, with consistent dates, distances and registration links, plus list, calendar and map views.
Found your goal event? Race the Water is also a swim training planner: it builds a structured plan from your real training data and forecasts your race time. Open any race page and hit “Train for this race”, or go straight to the training planner.
The race list is open data — anyone can suggest a new event or correction. Read more on our submit page.
Race the Water is built by swimmers for swimmers. We don't run third-party ads or behavioural tracking.
