LoveSwim 2026
World Pride Edition
Friday, July 24, 2026.
On Friday July 24, 2026, LoveSwim returns with the most colorful queer swimming event of the summer.
Celebrate the love of swimming and of each other with us. Whether you identify as straight, lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, non-binary, or otherwise – we belong together! Because of World Pride – with the theme Unity – and the tenth edition of LoveSwim, we are celebrating this year with extra festivity, featuring more performances and a number of special swimming distances.
Also this year you can swim various distances: 250, 500, 750, 1000, and 1500 meters. During the event, you can decide which distances to participate in by showing up at the start for those. Not planning to swim? Then come cheer on the swimmers, get carried away by the beats of DJ Natarcia, and enjoy performances by Ritchie Lahnstein and Ryann, among others. LoveSwim is the most fun event of Pride! Take part!
LoveSwim 2026 is completely sold out.
With 250 registrations and a fully subscribed waiting list of 25 people, we have reached our maximum capacity. It is therefore no longer possible to register or join the waiting list. We are incredibly proud of this milestone and look forward to an amazing edition of LoveSwim. Thank you for all your interest and support!
