I. plavecký klub otužilců Praha warmly invites you to the 67th Alfred Nikodem Memorial, our Christmas swimming competition in the Vltava.
The oldest and best-known cold-water swimming event will take place on Thursday 26 December 2013, St Stephen’s Day, at 11:00 in the Vltava beside Prague’s National Theatre.
Swimmers from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Italy, England and Germany will take part in the Alfred Nikodem Memorial. The course crosses the Vltava between Střelecký and Slovanský islands, with the start and finish beside Slovanský Island.
This year’s main partner is Oborová zdravotní pojišťovna, the health insurer for employees in banking, insurance and construction.
“Oborová zdravotní pojišťovna stands by its clients in heat and frost. It cares about how people look after their health, which is why it has become the memorial’s main partner. OZP has been here for more than twenty years and wishes every friend of healthy exercise the best of success.”
The event is supported by SUPTel a.s., BYTOSTAV s.r.o., Prague City Hall and the Prague 1 district, which co-organises the event.
Following last year’s successful debut, the programme again includes the Prague 1 Mayor’s Cup, awarded to the team comprising the three best-placed swimmers from each participating club. FIDES Brno will defend last year’s title.
