Swim the language Pool at LEN International Events

Swimmers at the Kranj Masters ChampionshipsSwimmers and visitors are invited to dive into the “virtual” language pool at European Events and have a taste of the language and the culture of the country hosing the international event.

The Language pool is a colourful open space equipped with interactive computer postings as starting blocks where visitors will have the opportunity of trying the Swim the language Speedy relay. The location will have a dedicated “Taste the Culture” time where visitors may taste the products of the hosting country.
